My question is to the Prime Minister. Did the Prime Minister or his office seek to have Brian Houston invited to the White House?

As the member would know, the invitations to the White House dinner were issued by the White House. That's a matter for the White House. I can tell you, Mr Speaker, I think the Australian people are more interested in who Jamie Clements was inviting to lunch and who he was inviting to dinner, on behalf of the New South Wales Labor Party, and how much cash was in the wine bag.

Yes, I made that point. The Prime Minister's indicated he has concluded his answer.
