My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer him to his formal statement to the Australian parliament:
All the information that we had was provided to the Volcker inquiry.
I ask the minister, for the fifth time: did the government provide any documents from the Wheat Export Authority to the Volcker inquiry?
Mark Vaile Lyne, National Party, Minister for Trade
I answered this question a moment ago. In terms of the background of the work of the WEA, the responsibilities under the Wheat Marketing Act and the time frame of the Volcker inquiry, it has been answered.
