My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, I refer you to a meeting you had with Mr Tang just after the election. I ask again: what is your understanding of what Mr Tang does?

Mr Tang’s company deals with those matters which are the subject of such copious documentation—namely, the letters from your government to the Chinese government and from your government to Mr Tang’s company—describing not only the activities of the company in detail but registering your active support in every aspect of the operation of that company in the Beijing property deal. In terms of meetings with the company concerned, it would be very interesting if those opposite, given that they were in government during this period, would detail their meetings with Mr Tang, including the then Deputy Prime Minister’s meeting with Mr Tang in China and in Australia.
