My question is to the Minister for Regional Development, Senator Nash. I refer to the minister's statement to the Senate on 17 August, last sitting week, in which she advised the Senate:

… the PM has indicated to me that he sees no reason for me to stand aside from my portfolio responsibilities.

Can the minister confirm it was the Prime Minister's decision that she should remain a cabinet minister while the question of her eligibility was resolved by the High Court?
