My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister ever discussed Australian Water Holdings with Senator Sinodinos, and, if so, when? Or, to put it plainly, what does the Prime Minister know about this matter and when did you know it?

What I know is that this government is determined to uphold high standards in public life. Senator Sinodinos stepping aside this morning is in the best Westminster tradition.
