My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Justice, Senator Brandis. I refer to the statement by the Minister for Industry on 11 December 2013 in relation to the $6.2 million open tender for armoured cars that 'Holden didn't bid for the armoured car program.' Given that officials confirmed in estimates on 20 November that a joint Holden-BAE bid was in fact received, why did the minister fail to correct the record and allow the Australian people to be misled?
