My question is to the Special Minister of State. I refer to the minister's previous answer, where he claimed that he did not request a copy of the former Speaker's diary when he sent a text to James Ashby in 2012 that read:

Can that be emailed James it is hard to read Mal.brough2@bigpond.com

If he was not asking for the diary, what on earth is the parliament to think that he was asking for?
