My question is to the Prime Minister. Last night, Sarah Ferguson asked him whether he had sought assurances from the Victorian Premier that no Commonwealth funding would end up in the hands of organised crime. The Prime Minister responded 'of course'. When did the Prime Minister seek these assurances, and what form did they take?

I, like the Victorian Premier, am opposed to corruption in any form. It's up to authorities, wherever there is evidence—as I said last night—for action to be taken by those authorities should there be any evidence of corrupt conduct.
