Before I start, can I just say that it's marvellous to have these four MPs back in parliament.

My question is to the Prime Minister. The government said that the by-elections would be a referendum on his corporate tax cuts.

Or does the Prime Minister think that the voters in Perth and Braddon and Fremantle and Longman just got it wrong?
