My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer the Deputy Prime Minister to reports that the Minister for Trade has directed bureaucrats in his department to contact bureaucrats in other departments to find out what is going on within the government. Isn’t it an amateur hour government when the trade minister has to plead with his own bureaucrats to stay in touch with other bureaucrats because in this government it is the gang of four that makes all the decisions?
