My question is directed to Senator Minchin, representing the Prime Minister. I refer the minister to answers he provided yesterday and to the Prime Minister’s press conference held a few minutes ago, which failed to clarify who paid the full cost of the Liberal Party fundraiser at Kirribilli House. Can the minister assure the Senate that no part of the bill for food and beverages consumed was paid for by government or taxpayer sources? Was the cost paid by the Liberal Party of $5,186.69 the total cost of food and drink supplied for the event? If not, how was the Liberal Party’s share calculated?
