My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Following the Queensland election, the Prime Minister said it was 'fought very much, as we know, on state issues'. The New South Wales Nationals leader and Deputy Premier, John Barilaro said:

What really got up my goat … on Sunday was to hear the Prime Minister of this nation say there were no federal issues that affected the state election. That's just a joke.

Is New South Wales Deputy Premier Barilaro correct?
