My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister. Given that the Prime Minister is now the self-appointed champion of free speech and democracy in Queensland, will he be providing additional time for debate about his emergency intervention legislation being rammed through the parliament without proper consultation? Will he be apologising to Indigenous people for forcing a discriminatory system upon them without giving them a say? And now that public consultation has become a sacred tenet to him, will the Prime Minister invite a vote on whether Australia should proceed with nuclear power reactors or sell uranium to India, a country which refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty?
