The Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. I apologise. This is, in my view, a very serious situation. We've got a minister engaged in a cover-up. We've got staff being used across a number of government organisations to attack their political enemies. If I end up in front of the Privileges Committee, I welcome that. I will go there and I will ensure that we continue to expose the cover-up of this disgraced minister, the cover-up that this government is engaging in. I will not be intimidated. I will not be put off ensuring that this government behaves in a fair and proper manner.

This minister is in breach of ministerial standards. She actually should resign. She has got no credibility as a minister. She now has no capacity to prosecute any arguments in this place. She has got no credibility when she uses unsubstantiated allegations time and time again, against myself on some occasions and against union officials and members of the opposition. She is an attack dog for this government. She has been uncovered as an incompetent, unworthy minister. She should resign. (Time expired)
