I ask a supplementary question, Mr President. I note that the royal commission is not a full royal commission and that a whole range of areas are excluded from that inquiry. In terms of the minister’s answer, he referred to actions that were taken regarding these UN and US warnings. What action was taken? Was it more than just asking AWB if it was true, because that seemed to be the only indication in his answer for the action taken? More importantly, can the minister also inform the Senate if any ONA analysis and reporting took place on the corruption of the UN oil for food program?
