(—) (): My question is to the Prime Minister. Today The Courier-Mail reports allegations that One Nation conspired to defraud money from Queensland electoral authorities using inflated receipts. Has the Prime Minister referred today's allegations and previous allegations about One Nation to the Australian Federal Police to investigate whether any Commonwealth laws have been broken, including whether any similar fraud has been perpetrated against the Commonwealth? Will the government be reviewing monies paid to Coastal Signs & Printing to ensure taxpayers have not been defrauded through inflated receipts? (Time expired)

I thank the honourable member for his question. He raises some very serious matters which have emerged in the media this morning. I will be getting advice from the Federal Police Commissioner, the Minister for Justice and the Attorney as we review the media reports in the course of the next day.

An honourable member: Will you report back?

Absolutely.
