Are you seriously suggesting that the Prime Minister should be acting on matters that he has no knowledge of? The stupidity of your argument is that, even if the Prime Minister had gone through the registers of interests—for every single one of us, in both the Senate and the other place—they would not have shown up these matters that are before us today, because they were not in the Register of Senators’ Interests and they were not matters of which he had knowledge. How could he possibly have acted as you have told him he should, if he had no knowledge of these matters?
