Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister tell the Senate, which he failed to do yesterday, when the memorandum by AUSTRAC was signed and what the width and breadth of that memorandum was—to which points it went? Can the minister explain to the parliament why he failed to act? Is it because he was not across his brief, or did he fail to act because he was protecting his Liberal mates? Will the minister now act within his department and AUSTRAC to investigate the Australian money trail?
