My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that just this week the government lost Wentworth on Monday and lost Chisholm on Tuesday, and it was reported on Wednesday that it's about to lose Hughes? Is this why the Prime Minister has a policy to have a part-time parliament, because he can't bear the consequences of having all the members of the government in the one place at the same time?
