Peter Dutton did find himself under pressure trying to answer whether he still believes that working from home was impacting productivity.

Q: When you announced your work from home policy you said it would increase productivity, do you still believe getting public servants back into the office would have an economic benefit?

Dutton:

I think we dealt with the issue yesterday.

Q: Does it still have an economic effect?

Dutton:

We dealt with at issue yesterday. And the arrangements apply now apply prospectively.

Q: Do they have an economic benefit?

Dutton:

It will have the economic benefit it does now.
