My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister please tell the House which members of his executive have informed him or his office that they have been contacted by the Australian Federal Police in relation to the Ashby affair?

The member for Wakefield will leave the House under standing order 94(a). He has been warned twice.

As the honourable member would be aware, the Federal Police have sought assistance from the member for Longman and the member for Sturt—in addition, of course, to the former Special Minister of State.
