My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. In an article in The Australian entitled 'Timing of federal poll a "disaster" for Berejiklian', a Liberal New South Wales minister is quoted as saying that Mr Morrison's plan to call a federal election after the New South Wales state election is 'an absolute disaster'. Given the horror result for the government in the Victorian state election, why is Mr Morrison ignoring the impact his divided and dysfunctional government will have on the New South Wales election?
