Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I ask: who made the decision to include Mr Furnival in the delegation to Beijing; was Mr Robb or his office consulted on the make-up of the 31-member delegation, which included just one third-party lobbyist, Mr Furnival; and can the minister further explain why the 31-member delegation included only one woman?
