My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has previously stated in question time that his Jerusalem embassy announcement was discussed at cabinet. How did Defence have time to contribute coordinating comments to a cabinet submission if the government was running to a media timetable instead of a proper cabinet process? Is this government so hopelessly divided that a media timetable and a by-election panic take precedence over a considered process?
