My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. I refer to a discussion the minister had with Qantas executive Vanessa Hudson regarding the Qatar application for extra flights, prior to the minister's decision being made. What was the content of that discussion?

I haven't had any discussions with Vanessa Hudson about the Qatar decision at all.
