As I've already indicated to the chamber several times now, the Prime Minister advised the House of Representatives on a number of occasions that, as a result of the question from the Leader of the Opposition, he would seek appropriate information in order to inform his judgement in the context of his responsibilities in the context of ministerial standards. That's precisely what he has done, and he reported back to the House of Representatives accordingly. If the Labor Party was so concerned about it, why didn't you raise this at the time when the Prime Minister first informed the House of Representatives that that was what he was going to do?
