House debates Questions without Notice
Ministerial Conduct
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
2:53 pm
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.
