My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm reports that US ambassador Joe Hockey was contacted by Helloworld CEO and Liberal Party Treasurer Andrew Burnes? Mr Hockey then directed embassy staff to meet with a Helloworld subsidiary to discuss the embassy's travel arrangements, and the embassy staff were not aware of Joe Hockey's interest in Helloworld until after that meeting had taken place. Is the Prime Minister seriously telling the Australian people that this behaviour is completely acceptable?
