My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that no Commonwealth taxpayer funds have directly or indirectly been paid into the hands of convicted criminal and underworld figure Mick Gatto or any associated companies?

This goes to the first question that I was asked after the 2022 election, and at that time I pointed out the action that I took as Leader of the Australian Labor Party within three weeks of my election. Within three weeks of my election as Leader of the Opposition, I took on some people such as John Setka. I expelled him from the Labor Party. He took action and took us to court. He appealed that court action, and we defended that, and John Setka remains outside the Labor Party. We also have excluded the CFMEU from being affiliates of the Labor Party. We also put the CFMEU into administration. That stands in stark contrast—

Has the Prime Minister concluded his answer?

If he doesn't want to hear it, yes.
