My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday, the Prime Minister described the meeting between the US Embassy and Helloworld as an 'embassy staff meeting'. Why did the Prime Minister withhold the critical fact that Joe Hockey attended the meeting himself, a fact confirmed at Senate estimates today? How is it possibly appropriate for Mr Hockey, a million-dollar shareholder in Helloworld, to attend a meeting with Helloworld to discuss the embassy's travel arrangements?
