My question is to the Cabinet Secretary, Senator Sinodinos. I refer to the Cabinet Secretary's categorical assurance to the Senate on 2 May 2016 that he never participated in or witnessed discussions regarding the use of the Free Enterprise Foundation to channel and disguise donations by prohibited donors. I also refer to this week's report from the Independent Commission Against Corruption which explicitly accepted evidence that the scheme had been specifically raised with Senator Sinodinos. Which is correct: the report of the Independent Commission Against Corruption or Senator Sinodinos's denial?
