Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

The honourable member's question contains within it the assumption or assertion that the Deputy Prime Minister is in breach of the ministerial standards. If the honourable member wishes to make that case, to make that allegation—and I invited him and his leader to do so yesterday—then he should do so. He should make that allegation and demonstrate the basis for doing so. In other words, the question is based on a false premise—or at least a premise that the honourable member has not bothered to establish.
