My question's to the Prime Minister. Given his last answer, can the Prime Minister confirm that he is unwilling to talk to Labor about energy price legislation until he has the consent of the member for Warringah?

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. His invitation to engage in his bipartisanship is not very persuasive. The honourable member will understand that, when dealing with issues of this kind, I'll continue to confer with my colleagues.
