My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Given that it is the general practice of Prime Ministers to have and to publish a code of conduct for ministers and members of the parliamentary executive, is it the intention of the government to have a code of conduct, and when will it be published?

I expect to table the code of conduct at the conclusion of question time, and it will be available on the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet website.
