My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his answer yesterday in relation to the release of emails between himself and Graham Edwards. We look forward to their publication. In that answer, he pointedly ignored my request that he release any correspondence between himself or Graham Edwards with Julian Grill concerning arrangements with Brian Burke. I repeat that request. Further, will he detail and release what discussions, correspondence, emails or meetings he has had with Sarah Burke in relation to the journalists dinner on 12 December 2005?

I indicated yesterday, in response to the honourable member’s question concerning Graham Edwards, that I was not aware that we had any such correspondence. We are still checking. I do not think that is the case. If we find any, as I indicated yesterday, we will be making that public. On the question of any correspondence with Mr Grill, I am unaware of any. If we find any, we will make that public.
