My question is to the Minister for Human Services. I refer to the minister's previous answers on the Parkinson inquiry. Did the minister inform the Parkinson inquiry of how he travelled to China, including whether he took a private jet, who paid for his travel and whether it was properly declared on his register of members' interests? Will the minister now provide that information to the parliament? And is the minister aware that his previous answer does not answer this question?

I thank the member for his question, and I refer the member to my previous answer.
