My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's previous answer, where he confirmed that the minister for the workplace is responsible for administering the Fair Work Act. I also refer to evidence at Senate estimates just now from Minister Cash that both she and the minister for the workplace are responsible for administering the Fair Work Act. Is this another example of the chaos of this government, where ministers don't even know what they're in charge of? Or did the Prime Minister only make the decision to remove Senator Cash's responsibility today and not tell her?
