My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to the Cole inquiry’s conclusion that by June 2004 the minister’s department knew that AWB’s wheat prices included inland transport costs within Iraq, that AWB paid money to a Jordanian trucking company and that the Jordanian company might have provided kickbacks to Saddam Hussein’s regime. Does the minister agree with this conclusion by Commissioner Cole?
