My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade. It follows the last answer that he gave to the member for Griffith, in which he said that the government assisted in every way the Volcker inquiry. Can the minister confirm that the government’s Wheat Export Authority, whose job it is to scrutinise Australian wheat contracts, did not provide any documents to the Volcker inquiry? Given that the minister failed to answer this question when he was asked twice yesterday, surely he is able to answer it now.
