Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In light of the minister’s failure to answer the questions, in particular the question I asked which followed up Senator Bushby’s question regarding the date as to when Toyota was advised of the $35 million grant, firstly, I again ask the minister to answer that question. Secondly, given his reference to Toyota’s press statement of 11 June, will the minister advise whether the industry minister, his staff or departmental officials or any other minister, their staff or departmental officials held discussions with Toyota between the time of Mr Watanabe’s original statement, which I quoted from in my first question, and Toyota’s press statement of 11 June?
