Mr Morrison has made clear his respect and support for the member for Bass and his ongoing engagement in discussions with her. Once again, as has been the case through many of the questions I've faced today—and it's not uncommon—what is put to me are assertions or direct quotes. They are not always completely direct quotes. As I have made clear, you would expect that discussions happen between party leaders and their members or senators and their officers. These are commonplace across the building. Of course, you can have strong disagreements, but they should be done respectfully. That's the way the Prime Minister always expects them to be conducted.
