My question is to the Prime Minister, and I refer him to requests for an emergency meeting of the National Party to discuss the decision of the government to dump its latest signature energy policy. Why didn't the Prime Minister tell his deputy he was dumping his so-called big stick legislation, before the Treasurer briefed it out? Given that this government is so chaotic that one half doesn't know what the other half is doing, is this what the Prime Minister meant when he described his own government as the muppet show?
