My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, and I refer to his previous answers. Would the Deputy Prime Minister advise the House whether he or his office played any role in selecting his close friend's business to receive more than $5,000 in taxpayers' money or is the House meant to believe that it was just an extraordinary coincidence that an agency under his administration chose a venue owned by his close friend out of all the venues in Armidale?

I thank the honourable member for Isaacs for his question. I know he's making much of this. We've said we'll take it on notice because I was unaware, and we will get back to you.
