My question is to the Prime Minister. When did the Prime Minister first discuss with Senator Sinodinos his involvement with Australian Water Holdings, and did the Prime Minister conduct those discussions before appointing former Assistant Treasurer Sinodinos to the ministry?
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
The important thing is that Senator Sinodinos has done the right and decent thing. He has stepped aside for the duration of this matter, and that is why am looking forward to his restoration to the ministry.
