QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr TAYLOR (Hume) (14:40): Deputy Prime Minister, the coalition is deeply committed to the Australia-US relationship. Between Sunday and this morning, the DPM's office provided two conflicting statements about the nature and formality of this week's meeting with Secretary Hegseth. Since this morning there have been three different explanations about the nature and extent of the meeting.

Deputy Prime Minister, was this a meeting with Secretary Hegseth or just a photo opportunity, and was there an outcome beyond the photo? Honourable members interjecting — The SPEAKER: Order! Members on my left and members on my right.

The member was heard in silence. I'd like to hear from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, and he has the call.
