I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House:

(1) notes the Prime Minister:

(a) has repeatedly refused to admit his failings in handling the ongoing bushfire crisis;

(b) has tried to cover up his failings with a series of false claims;

(c) is ignoring the damning report of the independent Auditor-General concerning his corrupt sports rorts scheme, and is instead relying on a secret report by his former Chief of Staff;

(d) refuses to give straight answers to simple questions; and

(e) has no plan for this country, only a marketing plan for himself; and

(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to stop acting in his own interest and start acting in the national interest.

Leave not granted.

(d) refuses to give straight answers to simple questions; and

The motion is seconded. This is a corrupt scheme from a Prime Minister who thinks taxpayers' money belongs personally to him—
