My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. I refer to the Prime Minister's intervention to save the preselection of the Liberal member for Hughes, Craig Kelly, and reports that the Prime Minister's staff and lieutenants were lobbying to save Mr Kelly, with one member of the New South Wales Liberal Party executive declaring the decision to save Mr Kelly had come after pressure from the PM. On what basis did Mr Morrison decide to intervene to save Mr Kelly's preselection?
