My question is to the Special Minister of State. I refer to the minister's repeated references this week to his previous statement, in which he referred to material he provided to the Federal Court. I refer to a text message to the minister from Karen Doane, a staffer to the former Speaker, which was tendered into Federal Court evidence, 'I look forward to your assistance with Clive and the possibility of working with him.' Given the minister is responsible for government integrity, were the minister's actions appropriate and in keeping with the standards he would enforce as minister?
