My question is to the Prime Minister. Clause 2.20 of the Prime Minister's own Statement of ministerial standards puts a blanket ban on ministers providing assistance to companies in a 'personal capacity'. But the Minister for Human Services has himself confirmed to the House that he was acting in a personal capacity when he attended a signing ceremony sealing a mining deal between a Chinese state owned enterprise and a major Liberal donor. When the breach is this clear, why hasn't the Prime Minister sacked the Minister of Human Services? (Time expired)
