Then I said:

I'm going to leave the matters of pursuing these issues to the New South Wales Police. I will speak directly to the New South Wales Police, I will consider the information they provide me about this matter and I will exercise my responsibilities under the standards once I have had the opportunity to have those discussions.

I said this on four occasions in the House yesterday in response to questions. I would suggest to the Leader of the Opposition that, if he is going to ask questions, he should listen to the answers and not sulk, as the Labor Party have been in a constant sulk for the last six months. What I did yesterday is what I told the House I would do, and then I went and did it. Out of absolute courtesy, as I should to this House, I came back into this House and fully put forward those issues and the assessment that I had taken. I refer the Leader of the Opposition to the comments by the commissioner today. Mick Fuller has said today, in a doorstep interview:

The Prime Minister didn't ask me any questions that were inappropriate, he didn't ask for anything that was inappropriate and I'm comfortable with the discussion that we had that ran over a few minutes.
