My question is to the Prime Minister. During the 'Utegate' scandal, the Prime Minister spoke about misleading the parliament, saying:

That is an offence that should result in the dismissal or resignation of a minister. It is perfectly clear.

Given that it is perfectly clear that the employment minister misled the Senate five times, why won't the Prime Minister, under his own standards, sack the employment minister?
