House debates Questions without Notice
Day, Mr Bob, AO
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
2:23 pm
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?
Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
The honourable member would be aware that the Minister for Finance addressed those issues in his comprehensive statement to the Senate.
