Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that he governs in this House with a majority of one, that he's formed that majority based on a secret personal deal with the Deputy Prime Minister and that he's allowing the Deputy Prime Minister to remain in office based on secret advice, even though the House has unanimously referred the question of his qualifications to be a member of parliament to the High Court? Prime Minister, how can the Australian people have confidence in the legitimacy of this government if it's based on a secret agreement and clinging to office on secret advice?
