Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. This is, isn’t it, Minister, a matter that has been dealt with before, at least in part, by the Senate via Senate estimates? And it is reasonable for the minister to attempt to respond, to try and answer questions and issues that flow from this. Did the Wheat Export Authority fail to do its job properly in investigating this matter, or was it really a case of incompetent ministers who were part of the ‘wheat club’ not wanting to rock the boat?
