Mr Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. This Prime Minister voted against a banking royal commission 26 times and called it 'a populist whinge'. Last night, every member of the government voted against Labor's amendments to strengthen punishment for corporate criminals with tougher 15-year jail sentences for the most serious crimes and bigger fines for misconduct. Isn't it the case that, no matter what this Prime Minister pretends, he'll always stick up for the big banks and the top end of town?
