Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The standing orders—and, in fact, the House of Representatives Practicemake it very clear that ministers and the Prime Minister can be questioned about public statements that they have made. The Prime Minister has held two press conferences on this issue. She has stated on many occasions that she had no wrongdoing at any time with respect to the AWU slush fund. But she has said that, when she became aware of wrongdoing, she ended the relationship with her then boyfriend. That is why it goes within her responsibilities.
