They call that a ‘wet lettuce’, Mr Speaker. I have another question for the Minister for Revenue and Assistant Treasurer. Is the Assistant Treasurer aware that AWB Executive Chairman Brendan Stewart claims to have legal advice that AWB will not suffer a tax penalty, even though it claimed a tax deduction for its $300 million bribe to Saddam Hussein’s regime? Is the Assistant Treasurer happy with this outcome or will he now join Labor’s plan to crack down on this outrageous tax rort?
