My question is to the Prime Minister. On Monday the Prime Minister said he would seek advice over the course of the next day from the AFP Commissioner about allegations involving One Nation, but today in Senate estimates the commissioner confirmed that he had not received a request for advice from anyone in the government. Why did the Prime Minister tell the parliament he was going to seek advice from the police commissioner and then do absolutely nothing? Did the Prime Minister intend to mislead the parliament, or do all the rules change when One Nation is involved?
