My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that, as shadow foreign affairs minister, he accompanied a Chinese importer of Australian telecommunications products, Beijing AustChina Technology, on a paid trip to Sudan, in June and July 2006, where the company pursued a number of business deals?
