I refer to the raids conducted by the Australian Federal Police on the offices of the members for Bowman, Bonner and Moreton. Who in the Prime Minister’s office did the Australian Federal Police inform on Thursday, 1 March, that these raids would be conducted the following day? Is the minister aware of the media report on 7 March that the member for Bowman’s office received a telephone call an hour before the raids were conducted? Can the minister confirm whether a tip-off occurred and, if so, can he guarantee that it did not compromise those investigations? Is the minister aware of whether the AFP is investigating claims that the member for Bowman’s office received a tip-off?
