I refer to the 2001 cable that the minister received from the Australian High Commission in Honiara about improper payments being made from Airservices Australia to Solomon Islands officials and to the fact that these improper payments continued for a further two years until late 2003. Why did the minister turn a blind eye to this warning, just as he did to the 33 warnings he received about AWB’s kickbacks to Saddam Hussein’s regime?
