My question is to Senator Minchin, the Minister representing the Prime Minister. I refer the minister to his previous answers in this place, in which he stated:

The decision to hold that function was made taking into account previous advice from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet ...

Can the minister confirm that he has read this advice? Can the minister indicate who sought the advice? Was this advice sought prior to or after the cocktail party at Kirribilli House? When was the advice provided and, in particular, does this advice specifically canvass the use of Kirribilli House for a Liberal Party function on 1 June 2007?
