My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to an earlier question concerning his visit to Sudan in 2006. Did the Prime Minister attend any business meetings in Sudan in June and July 2006 involving Beijing AustChina Technology and corporate representatives of the Sudanese government or any other companies?

The answer to the honourable member’s question is no, no-one accompanied me on that visit. I am advised that that company has also been a significant financial contributor to the National Party.
