Can the Deputy Prime Minister confirm whether Mr Trevor Flugge or Mr Flugge’s team transported over $1 million in cash from Kuwait to Baghdad between May and July 2003? How much cash did Mr Flugge have discretionary use of during his Baghdad posting apart from his $1 million salary package?

In answer to the first part of the question, I have no knowledge of that. In answer to the second part of his question, this was dealt with and administered through AusAid, which I have no direct ministerial responsibility for. So, in answer to his question, I have no knowledge of that assertion or that allegation.
