My question is to the Prime Minister. Given last night no member of the National Party Senate team voted to keep the government's ban on the Adler shotgun, and given that the Prime Minister has just confirmed that the Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the National Party backed the ban in the cabinet, does the Prime Minister's deputy still support the ban on the importation of the Adler shotgun? If so, why did none of his team in the Senate back up the cabinet decision?
