Tony Smith (Casey, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I appreciate that answer, but I must persist and ask the minister whether he—during the period when he was, in his words, ‘the minister responsible’—was advised by a single company that they would reinstate their share plan or had reinstated their share plan as a result of the consultations he entered into following the Treasurer admitting there were mistakes. I am asking whether he was advised of just one company. I think I am getting very close to the answer, because if there were just one he would remember it. Although I say many things of the minister, I think he has a good memory. I state again that I am asking whether he has been advised of just one—is it one, or two or three or is it, in the Prime Minister’s language, zip or zero?
