Obviously, there are points of difference, but I will not rebut any of the points the Minister for Foreign Affairs has raised; they are for subsequent argument. I think I may have used the word ‘rort’ as opposed to ‘fraud’ in the context of describing the the oil for food issue. I was not accusing any member of the department of fraud, and the Hansard should reflect that.
