I blame Senator Hughes. She's leading me astray, as she is wont to do—and as the Prime Minister is leading the country astray. Forty per cent—that is a big number, but when it comes down to it there are 22 questions. The Prime Minister doesn't want to answer these questions, but I'm going to read them out. I think it is important that these questions are on the public record to make sure those poor people up there in the public gallery can leave this chamber, go to the Queen's Terrace Cafe, have a double-shot cappuccino and understand that the Prime Minister of this country is snubbing his nose at this chamber and snubbing his nose at accountability. The first question from my good colleague Senator Cash, question on notice No. 139, says:

On what date did the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet provide an Incoming Government Brief to the Prime Minister or his office following the May 2022 federal election.

That's a pretty simple question. It's a classic machinery-of-government question, so it's very, very easy.
