My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his announcement that the Auditor-General will investigate and report on the OzCar affair. Will the Prime Minister guarantee that all of the Auditor-General’s reports in response to this request will be tabled in this parliament?

Kevin Rudd

Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister

The honourable member knows full well that the Auditor-General operates independently, and his investigation should proceed in that manner. Secondly, so should the AFP’s investigation. Thirdly, the opposition should cooperate fully and provide their computer records to the AFP investigation.
