My question is to the Prime Minister. Did the Prime Minister have a conversation of any nature with Mr Alan Joyce prior to the government's decision concerning Qatar Airways?

Order! Members on my left! The member for Hume. When the House comes to order—the minister for industry—I'll hear from the member for Hasluck.
