My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his claim in this place on 16 February 2006 that AWB had to be included in the delegation sent to Iraq because it was legally necessary to do so. Given that the Australian delegation does not include the AWB, did the Prime Minister mislead the House when he claimed this legal obligation or is the Deputy Prime Minister now acting illegally by negotiating access to Iraq in the absence of the AWB?

The Deputy Prime Minister is not acting illegally, I am not acting illegally, and I think the Leader of the Opposition has run out of real questions.
