My question is again to the Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories. Since she became a minister, for how many days did either she or her husband hold shares in breach of the Prime Minister's ministerial code of conduct?

I refer to my previous answer and my answer yesterday and the day before. As soon as I became aware, I took steps to transfer those shares. At no point was there a conflict of interest. At no point have I presided over anything that required further disclosure than what I've already made. Now that those shares are sold, I consider the matter closed, and so does the Prime Minister.
