I request, in accordance with the standing orders, that you write to the Minister for Small Business and Tourism seeking an answer to question No. 5592, which was placed on the Notice Paper on 26 March 2007. This is a very important question because it goes to the potential misuse of taxpayers’ money by the Minister for Small Business and Tourism when she attended the G’day LA tourism functions this year. This is about transparency and accountability and the misuse of taxpayers’ money.

I thank the member for Batman. He does not need to debate his question, but I will follow up his request with the minister.
