Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the minister's answer on 21 November, in which he said:

Australia's record, and that of NSW in the years I can speak for, is exemplary.

Given all the corruption allegations put to him about Mr Obeid when he was Premier and all the evidence now coming to light, how can the minister seriously contend that there was no corruption by his ministers during his premiership and that all the disgraceful matters now being revealed by ICAC had their genesis after the minister stepped down as Premier?
