My question is to the Prime Minister. In question time earlier today the Prime Minister told us how he was looking forward to working with the member for Fairfax. But before the election the Prime Minister said:

There will not be deals done with independents and minor parties under any political movement that I lead.

Prime Minister, how is that one working out for you?

In case members opposite have missed it, the member for Fairfax has agreed to support the government's legislation to repeal the carbon tax. That is what he has done. He has agreed to support the government's legislation to repeal the carbon tax. When it comes to supporting government policy, I am very happy to work with people.
