My question is to the Minister for Workplace Relations. Can the Minister for Workplace Relations guarantee that no taxpayer funded opinion poll research has been made available to any of the organisers of the BCA-ACCI campaign, including Mark Textor, Tony Barry, Peter Anderson, Brett Hogan or Lynton Crosby?

I have not handed any government research to Crosby Textor. I am advised by my office that they have not handed any information over and I am advised by my department that they have not handed any information over. All of us are saying that we have not handed any information over.
