My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. What assistance did Austrade provide Nimrod Resources in reaching its agreement with the Chinese state owned Minmetals? Was any assistance provided by Austrade leading up to or on the day of the signing ceremony in Beijing in August 2014 or in relation to any other events? Has Austrade provided any assistance to any other companies associated with Mr Paul Marks?

In answer to the honourable member, the Prime Minister informed the House that he had sought all the information associated with the issues that have been raised on the other side of the House. When that information is available, I am sure that you will hear about it.
