I completely reject the assertions made by the member for Maribyrnong regarding my role on the backbench seven years ago. I also reinforce to the House the findings of the Watt committee, after four months of deliberating over 95 contracts going back to 2005, that there was no clear finding of misconduct at all. Despite the report being delivered to the minister on 6 March, the minister—surprise, surprise!—kept it till this week, leaking to the Sydney Morning Herald leading into this week. I wonder why! Who would have thought!
