My question is to the Minister for Sport, Senator Arbib. I refer the minister to a report by Andrew Clennell in last Friday's Daily Telegraph which states that Minister Arbib:

... brokered the deal between Prime Minister Julia Gillard's office and NSW Labor.

Can the minister confirm that he participated in a discussion with the member for Dobell and the Prime Minister, or the Prime Minister's office, in relation to the payment by New South Wales Labor of the member for Dobell's legal fees following his discontinued defamation action against Fairfax?
