My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. I refer to the current Prime Minister, who said, on announcing that he would challenge the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, for the Liberal Party leadership:

It is clear enough that the government is not successful in providing the economic leadership that we need.

I refer to Mr Turnbull's series of failed thought bubbles for tax reforms: $50 billion in tax cuts to big business, which he will not even bring forward for debate in the parliament, and his bungled handling of the backpacker tax. Is this the economic leadership Mr Turnbull had in mind when he deposed Mr Abbott?
