Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:37): As I have said publicly, decisions about finances related to the New South Wales Labor Party are for the New South Wales Labor Party to make. Let me make a broader point—that is, that the New South Wales Police have now indicated that they intend to take a look. I understand they received some correspondence from Senator Brandis and they have responded to that. In those circumstances I believe it is inappropriate for me to comment further. I also believe, frankly, that for any member of the House who is subject to investigation by the police—and we know that one member of the parliament has been charged—or investigations such as those by Fair Work Australia it is incumbent on all members of the House to make sure— Ms Julie Bishop: Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order on direct relevance. My question related to the Prime Minister's involvement or that of her office and the Prime Minister can answer the question of her own knowledge. The SPEAKER: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume her seat. The Prime Minister is responding. The Prime Minister is aware of the obligations. The Prime Minister has the call. Ms GILLARD: I was making what I thought was a very simple and commonsense point that, in relation to any member of parliament, I think the appropriate thing to do is for people to allow proper investigative processes, if they are being undertaken, to go through. I am sure the Leader of the Opposition is doing that in relation to a member of his team who has been charged with criminal matters—that he is applying that standard to a member of his own team. I would think, as a matter of fairness, he ought to apply that standard more broadly.
