My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to threats by the Attorney-General that state governments may again face High Court challenges to force their borders open. Can the Prime Minister confirm that he spent $1 million of taxpayers' money supporting Clive Palmer's attempt to tear down the Western Australian border last year and that some of it went directly to Clive Palmer?
