My question is to the Prime Minister. Media reports state that a trust linked to a Chinese donor made a $50,000 donation to former trade and investment minister Andrew Robb's fundraising vehicle, the Bayside Forum, on the exact same day that Mr Robb finalised the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement. Does the Prime Minister seriously expect the Australian people to believe that it was just a coincidence that a Chinese donor paid $50,000 to Mr Robb's fundraising vehicle on the exact same day that he finalised the China-Australia FTA?
