I refer to DFAT’s statement issued yesterday which reportedly does not deny the department’s involvement in the Tigris matter. I quote from correspondence from AWB executive Charles Stott which says, ‘Our friends at DFAT are interested in the outcome of the discussions to recover the obligation.’ Minister, did your office or your department at any stage help the AWB, BHP or Tigris in Tigris’s efforts to recover money from Iraq?
