My question is to the Leader of the Government, representing the Prime Minister. Today it's reported that five of the six COVID commissioners, who are advising how to rebuild after the pandemic, have refused to make public their declarations about conflicts of interest. The members of the manufacturing task force of the COVID commission don't even have to disclose their conflicts of interest to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Yet, one of the members, James Fazzino, not only is a director of APA Group but holds around $350,000 worth of their shares. That company will build the pipeline to the Narrabri gas fields. Guess what? The tasks force strongly recommends that that very gas pipeline be supported by government. Will the Prime Minister now require the financial interests of all task force members to be disclosed, or do you not even care any more about how in the pocket of the coal, oil and gas industry the government is?
