My question is directed to Senator Minchin, the Minister representing the Prime Minister, and it follows on from Senator Forshaw’s earlier question in relation to the function that was held at Kirribilli House on 1 June this year. Minister, will the Liberal Party be paying a hire charge for using Kirribilli House on that occasion, will the Liberal Party pay for all the salary and other on-costs of public servants who worked at Kirribilli House on the night and, given that Kirribilli House is not a business premises, is it lawful to charge people for attending functions at Kirribilli House?
