Ministerial Conduct

Monday, 8 February 2016 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

Clause 2.20 of the Statement of ministerial standards goes quite specifically to certain actions that can only be conducted in the official capacity of the minister. Therefore, we need to be able to ask when he said this was private whether or not he engaged in activities described in 2.20 of the Statement of ministerial standards. There is no other way of the parliament being able to examine this.
