My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister now informed himself about what advice his office provided to the member for Robertson or her office after the incident at the Iguana bar on 6 June? If not, why not, and, if so, what advice was provided?

Order! Those in the gallery will come to order! They will sit in silence.

In response to the honourable member’s question, no member of the Prime Minister’s office approved, wrote, instructed, participated in or was involved in dissemination of the statutory declarations concerning this matter; nor was I.
