Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. On 10 August the Prime Minister promised to conduct an investigation into whether Bruce Billson had breached ministerial standards by lobbying MPs on matters relevant to his previous portfolio. Can the Prime Minister verify this letter, posted a few minutes ago by 7.30, that the investigation did not speak to any ministers, did not interview any current MPs and did not even review the public documents, which are tabled in this parliament? Can the Prime Minister confirm the investigation involved Mr Billson simply giving an assurance that he had complied with the code?
