My question is again to the Minister for Trade. I refer to a different statement by the minister, made this time to the National Party Central Council in March this year, when in referring to AWB’s payments to Iraq he said: ‘So, if ever there were any kickbacks to the Iraqi grain, then I guess they would’ve ended up with the government. So that is not terribly unusual.’ Does the minister stand by this statement?
