Minister, Senator Macdonald asked a question of you in respect of the ombudsman's activities in relation to what is allegedly a private investigation that is occurring around the activities within the south-east MAC and the fact that Mr Egan, the chair of AFMA, had complained that the ombudsman, who I think Senator Macdonald alleged has a history in providing questions to the Greens at estimates, had not contacted AFMA to get their views in relation to that allegedly private investigation. My understanding is that no contact has been made with the company either, in relation to this allegedly private investigation. Does the minister have any advice on that?
