I refer the Prime Minister to his admission in the register of interests, which he has discussed today, that he received a free car—complete with registration, insurance and RACQ membership—from John Grant of John Grant Motors. Does the Prime Minister also have use of a taxpayer funded electorate vehicle under his entitlement or has he instead opted to receive the $19,000 increase in his salary?

In relation to the first matter, I would say to the honourable member that my declarations on the pecuniary interests register are accurate. Second, the exercise of my other entitlements as a member of parliament is consistent with those of other members and ministers.
