My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. Can the minister confirm that the decision to hold a royal commission into the banks, 26 times after the government voted against one, was made by former Prime Minister Turnbull? Can the minister further confirm media reports quoting government sources that the then Treasurer and now Prime Minister, Mr Morrison, was—and I quote—'the last hold-out'?
