My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday the Prime Minister said that allegations involving Victorian Liberal leader Matthew Guy and alleged Mafia boss Tony Madafferi would be carefully examined by federal authorities, but the Prime Minister's office has already claimed that the AEC investigation has concluded. Given that the Prime Minister has promised a careful examination of this matter, how did the Prime Minister expect the Electoral Commission to conduct a careful examination in less than 24 hours? Has the Prime Minister asked the AFP, with its stronger powers, to thoroughly investigate? If not, why not? (Time expired)
