Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Does the minister agree that the fact that the disgraced member for Dobell, Craig Thomson, is secretary of the Australia-Republic of Korea Parliamentary Friendship Group simply adds insult to injury as far as Korea is concerned? Does the minister think it appropriate that a visiting South Korean parliamentary delegation, already concerned about Australia's sovereign risk, be entertained by Mr Thomson as the Gillard government-supported secretary of this group?
