I refer to assistant minister Jane Prentice, also a Queenslander, who said that Senator Brandis's criticisms of his own party were, 'a bit harsh,' and suggested that the ABC interview Senator Brandis himself and some of his Queensland LNP colleagues to, 'see what they think of his performance'.

Senator O'Sullivan interjecting—

Can the Leader of the Government in the Senate explain why his colleagues—maybe including Senator O'Sullivan—think that it is his performance that is very, very mediocre?
