One of the reasons, of course, that the person the member opposite was referring to is so unpopular is that the leader of the LNP in Queensland called for Queensland's borders to be reopened 64 times. These borders have kept Queenslanders safe, and what she said is an absolute disgrace.

But another mate of the Prime Minister's is Mr Clive Palmer, a former member of this House. The Prime Minister—speaking of priorities—has had time to subsidise his mate Clive's private jet but no time to establish a national integrity commission. This is the same Clive Palmer, by the way, who is mounting a disinformation campaign of blatant outright lies to try to hack the Queensland election, the same Clive who spent $84 million in the federal election and said he deliberately decided to polarise the electorate by running attacks on Labor in the campaign's final weeks. It's an absolute disgrace, and the LNP should be ashamed. (Time expired)
