My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the proposal to establish a joint parliamentary inquiry into the devastating and tragic Victorian bushfires. Prime Minister, what is the reason for rejecting such an inquiry and from whom was advice sought? Given the Victorian royal commission will not present its report during the life of this parliament, will the Prime Minister reconsider his decision in order to preserve strong bipartisan cooperation by this parliament?
