My question is again to the Prime Minister and refers to his answer to my previous question. I refer also to the Prime Minister’s continued affirmation of his statement yesterday that the Democratic Party was al-Qaeda’s preferred party to win the next US presidential elections. Can the Prime Minister explain how his statement about the Democratic Party being al-Qaeda’s party of choice will in any way help Australia’s national interests when Democratic legislators, who now control the House and the Senate in the US, sit down to draft the next US farm bill, which directly impacts the interests of the Australian farm sector?
