My question is to the Prime Minister, and I refer to the Prime Minister's answer yesterday. Can the Prime Minister confirm the employment minister and her senior media adviser, who has now resigned for leaking details to the media of imminent raids, attended his question time briefing yesterday? At what time did the meeting take place, did it take place in his personal office, and who else was present, including, but not limited to, ministers, MPs and members of the Prime Minister's office?

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is not going to do a very good impersonation of Perry Mason today. She may embark on a fishing expedition, but I repeat what I said yesterday: the Minister for Employment assured me she did not advise any journalists about the raid, and that is precisely what she has said in the Senate during estimates.
