My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, how much money did the Liberal Party pay to the Commonwealth for the use of the Lodge on 24 June 2005, and when was that payment made?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
I will seek advice on that and I will give it to you.

I am asked about a claim that was made in 2005. I do not recall the precise amount. All I can inform the Leader of the Opposition of is that the arrangement that I described obtained then. The same advice was tendered to the government in relation to that matter.
Jenny Macklin Jagajaga, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Families and Community Services
How much?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
I will find out and I will tell the House. Okay?
