With regard to consistency of the application of the code, is that entirely up to the Prime Minister? In one case we've seen a minister resign, or maybe pushed to resign over missing documents. In other cases we've seen ministers who may have been involved in having received a benefit of fundraising that may have taken place in a government agency that has connections to their office, or as a result of lobbyist activity by those who are registered to lobby them, and yet there is no resignation in that case. Is consistency an issue? Is that solely the Prime Minister's jurisdiction, to ensure consistency in the application of the provisions of the guide?
