My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. I refer to comments by the foreign minister and deputy Liberal leader, Ms Bishop, in which she refused to back Joe Hockey as Treasurer and said that his appointment was, and I quote, 'the Prime Minister's call'. I asked the minister: is this another captain's call the Prime Minister is looking to reverse?
