Now come to questions for Prime Minister Andrew Lauer.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. Question number one, Mr. Speaker.

Prime Minister.

Mr. Speaker, I should begin by saying that we of course condemn the attack on Iraqi military

bases hosting coalition forces. Iran should not repeat these reckless and dangerous attacks,

but must instead pursue urgent de-escalation.

Mr. Speaker, I know that the thoughts of the House are also with our friends in Australia

as they tackle the bushfires, as they are with the families of those killed in the

Ukrainian air crash.

This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Andrew Ler.

Mr. Speaker, Motor neurone disease is a terrible terminal illness,

with a third of people dying within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.

The last thing terminally ill people and their families should be worrying about are their finances.

The Scrap Six Months campaign by the Motor Neurohome Disease Association, which is based

in my constituency of Northampton South, has managed to bring the important issue of payments

to those with terminal illnesses to the fore, and I welcome the Department of Work and Pensions

review of the Special Rules

for Terminal Illness announced last July.

But can I ask the Prime Minister to join me in pressing the DWP to complete its review

and to scrap six months?
