My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to this Auditor-General’s report which reveals that between 1999 and 2003 Airservices Australia made more than $2.1 million in improper payments to Solomon Islands officials. Minister, how did the government allow this Australian link to corruption in the Solomon Islands to go on for over four years?
