My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, because today he said of the WA One Nation preference deal:

This is a disappointing move. I hope the architects of it clearly understand the ramifications of the decision …

Given the federal Minister for Finance was closely involved in the negotiations, has the finance minister ever conducted legislation negotiations in the Senate with One Nation on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister or any other National Party ministers? Is the Deputy Prime Minister happy to have the Minister for Finance negotiating with One Nation on his behalf?
