My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Will the minister confirm that he was accompanied by a staff member on his five trips to China that were paid for by Beijing AustChina Technology? Given the minister outlined only three individual meetings from his 33 days overseas, will the minister advise the House of the circumstance in which the sponsorship arose, the minister’s understanding of the reasons for Beijing AustChina Technology providing this sponsorship, what meetings were held, who attended the meetings and the subject matters that were discussed?
