I was talking about the letter that gave the AWB the green light to continue funnelling money to Saddam Hussein. In the ‘Dear Trevor’ letter back to Mr Flugge a few weeks later, did the Deputy Prime Minister formally confirm that he had directed his officials to ‘maintain their closed dialogue with the AWB’ in order to keep him apprised of developments in the trade with Iraq? Can the Deputy Prime Minister confirm that Trevor is dear and well known to him as the former National Party candidate for the federal seat of O’Connor?
