I again refer to the Cabinet Handbook, which states that, after a minister declares a conflict of interest:

It is then open to the Chair of the meeting to excuse a minister from the discussion or to agree expressly to his or her taking part.

On how many occasions has Minister Dutton absented himself from or been excused from cabinet meetings as a result of his interest in childcare centres?
