My question is to the Prime Minister—or, as he says, the ruler of this country! I refer to the bid by the Chinese company Landbridge to operate the Port of Darwin. I also refer to the fact that subsequently Landbridge gave former Liberal Minister for Trade Andrew Robb a part-time position paying $880,000 a year. Is the acceptance of $880,000 a year for a part-time job by a former Liberal minister action that would be caught by the Prime Minister's proposed legislation on foreign interference?
