My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to evidence given in Senate estimates during question time today. Can the Prime Minister confirm that his office first raised awarding a knighthood to Prince Philip with the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in November last year and, if that is the case, why did the Prime Minister raise it with his department in November but never got around to raising it with any of his cabinet ministers before Australia Day?
