My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Walton Construction company, which paid an LNP trust $430,000 and recently collapsed, owing its employees millions of dollars in wages and entitlements. Will the Prime Minister direct the Liberal Party to repay these payments to the workers whose entitlements are at risk?

The Prime Minister is not responsible for the LNP. The question is out of order. I call the honourable member for Page.
