Mr Deputy President, I ask a supplementary question. I hope you will be able to respond to these two, Minister. Can the minister indicate whether AusAID’s involvement in AWB’s corrupt wheat contract with Iraq was considered by the Cole commission? If not, will the government now establish a new inquiry to ascertain the full extent of AusAID’s involvement in the AWB kickback scandal?
