My question is to the Prime Minister. In Senate estimates, during question time, it has been revealed that on 21 February the Prime Minister asked the secretary of his department to provide advice on whether the member for New England had breached ministerial standards.

What changed last Wednesday that caused the Prime Minister to initiate this inquiry?
