My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that the deputy secretary of economics in his own department told Senate estimates he did not find out about the government's $80 million backflip on energy payments until a colleague told him he'd heard it on the radio? Just six weeks out from an election, and with a budget that fell apart on the night it was delivered, does the Prime Minister seriously expect he can con the Australian people into forgetting the last six years of cuts and chaos?
