Peter Dutton put his hand up this morning to become the leader of the Liberal Party. That is a matter of historical record. The Liberal Party party room made a decision and provided support to Prime Minister Turnbull. All of us in the Liberal-National party—all Liberal Party and National Party members and senators—will work extremely hard to ensure that the Turnbull government is re-elected at the next election so we can continue to provide good government for the Australian people and so we can continue to implement our plan for a stronger economy and more jobs to ensure that people around Australia have the best possible opportunity to get ahead and protect them from the disastrous consequences of the antibusiness, anti-jobs, anti-opportunity, higher taxes agenda of the socialist leader of the Labor Party.
