Madam Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. Today at Senate estimates Minister Nash explained how she managed her chief of staff's conflicts of interest: 'I required those undertakings. It was my responsibility. I ensured that they were done.' Given that Senator Nash failed to ensure her chief of staff had ceased his directorship and divested his shareholding, hasn't the minister misled the parliament and failed in her responsibilities as a minister in your government?
