My question is to the Prime Minister. Why do documents tabled in the Senate confirm that the Minister for Finance agreed to back-pay rent on former Senator Day's electorate office effective from 1 July 2015, which was more than a year before rent was legally required under the lease?

The honourable member would be aware that the Minister for Finance addressed those issues in his comprehensive statement to the Senate.
