President, I note that the Leader of the Government in the Senate has spoken generically about the ministerial code—has made a number of other assertions irrelevant to the question but has spoken about the code. It was a direct question about whether a minister has breached the code. If the Leader of the Government in the Senate indicates that she is not aware of the precise details, in the 13 seconds remaining, she should take the question on notice so she can provide a direct answer to the direct question.
