My question is to the Prime Minister. Last week, the Prime Minister told parliament, and I quote: 'What I believe today is what I will believe next week and what I will believe a month from now.' Given that when he was Treasurer he believed a banking royal commission was a 'populist whinge' and voted against it 26 times, doesn't this just proves that, no matter what this Prime Minister says now, protecting the big banks and the top end of town is in his DNA?

I initiated the royal commission into the banking and financial services industry. When you look up the terms of reference, you'll find my name on it.
