Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note the question was completely avoided. Was it the low road for Mr Bob Hawke to say: 'If you can't govern yourselves, you cannot govern Australia'? Does the minister agree? Given the continuing chaos and dysfunction of the government and the instability and uncertainty surrounding the Prime Minister's continuing tenure in her high office and, hence, the tenure of all her ministers, how can the government claim to be putting the interest of all Australian people before its own?
