My question is to the Prime Minister. After all the stories of banking scandals, thousands of victims, life savings gone, homes lost and businesses gone under, the Australian people want a royal commission into the banks. But the government has been using its one-seat majority to protect the banks from a banking royal commission. How can the Prime Minister continue to accept the vote of the Deputy Prime Minister when it means that the victims of banking scandals are denied the royal commission they deserve?
