My question is to the Prime Minister. Last week the Prime Minister said the national anticorruption commission he promised in December 2018 could be legislated before the election. Now the Attorney-General has confirmed the government will not put legislation to parliament this term. Why won't the Prime Minister do his job and deliver an anticorruption commission?

MORRISON (—) (): We've tabled our legislation for that integrity commission.

We have tabled it. The Labor Party don't support it, and that's why it's not proceeding.
