Peter Dutton is asked about whether the prime minister has been given a copy of his letter - Anthony Albanese has said he has not received it - and Dutton says a copy has been provided to the prime minister's office and he expects he will respond in due course".

I don't think that's unreasonable. Certainly not racist. It's not being opposed to reconciliation. It's all about, frankly, just being informed about what it is they're being asked to vote on. I don't think that is unreasonable to ask the prime minister to provide that.

I've met with the prime minister and I'm grateful for the meetings that we've had and he knows that I'm genuinely interested in advancing the cause of reconciliation.

I'm speaking of millions of Australians, we're asking you the reasonable questions.
