Sinodinos, Senator Arthur

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to revelations in today's The Australian Financial Review that Senator Sinodinos was given the task of negotiating an informal $1 million success fee, a $1 million success fee for Liberal lobbyist Michael Photios just months before this practice was outlawed by the O'Farrell government. When did the Prime Minister first become aware of this fact?
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
Again, all of the issues referred to by the Leader of the Opposition will quite properly be canvassed by the New South Wales investigation.
