My question is to the Prime Minister. Has Senator Sinodinos resigned his commission as the Assistant Treasurer and minister in this government?

As I indicated yesterday, he has stepped aside from the assistant treasurership. While he has stepped aside, he will forfeit ministerial salary and ministerial entitlements.
