My question is for the Minister for Finance and the Public Service, Senator Cormann. On Monday, 20 August, the minister told the Senate:

… I support Prime Minister Turnbull 100 per cent.

On Tuesday, 21 August, the minister told the Senate:

I support Prime Minister Turnbull.

On Wednesday, 22 August, the minister said, and I quote, 'I support Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister.' But the very same day, the minister offered his resignation and called on Malcolm Turnbull to resign. Minister, what changed?
