My question is to the Minister for Resources. Documents I have with me contain evidence of coal quality fraud by three companies regarding Australian exports to South Korea. When I first raised this issue with you last year, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission initially told me it would investigate. But since then no agency has contacted me, the whistleblower involved struggled to even get a meeting with the ACCC and only TerraCom is being investigated. Minister, is your government trying to cover up these obvious coal crimes?
