My question is to the Minister for Human Services. I refer to the minister's trip to China in August 2014 and the statement from the minister's office in The Courier Mail:

Mr Robert was on approved leave and attended in a private capacity.

On his outgoing Australian passenger card and on his official Chinese visa application form what did the minister declare the purpose of his trip was? Did the minister's declaration reflect that he was travelling in a private capacity?
