Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:01): My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that he spoke to the Queensland Premier on Friday morning about the appointment of the member for Groom as Queensland Resources Investment Commissioner? Did the Prime Minister attempt to interfere in the independent process, including, but not limited to, requesting that the appointment be delayed until after the federal election? Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection will cease interjecting.
