My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer to evidence provided by Senator Nash at Senate estimates that the minister's former chief of staff provided to her, and to the Government Staffing Committee, a document which details undertakings that there was no perceived or real conflict of interest. Will the Prime Minister release the document?

No, I will not, but I think that the shadow minister should stop making herself unpopular with her colleagues. She should support this investment, which the Premier of Tasmania described as 'fantastic'. This is what the Premier of Tasmania described as a fantastic investment and it should be supported.
