My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Following Senator Parry's resignation from this place, the Prime Minister said to the media:

I learned about it probably about the same time you did, on Tuesday.

Is the Prime Minister so out of the loop that Senator Fifield and other senior members of the government were aware of concerns about former Senator Parry's eligibility, but he was not?
