Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the honourable member for his question, which comes as yet another example of the abuse he prefers to use question time for. I would say to the honourable member that the maintenance of the compliance with ministerial standards is the highest priority. I maintain the maintenance of those ministerial standards. As far as future ministerial appointments go, the honourable member should understand that I will always ensure that ministerial standards are complied with both prospectively and, of course, in the past and dealt with appropriately in accordance with those standards. I reject the shabby smear that the honourable member chose to use his question for.
