I believe Dr Nahan is an honest man, and I am sure whatever Dr Nahan said to the Western Australian parliament was said in good faith. However—as I said to you in my answer to your previous question, Senator Sterle—just because two people who participate in a conversation have a different interpretation of that conversation does not mean either of them is acting in other than good faith or other than honestly. All I can tell you, Senator Sterle—since my first knowledge of these matters was in 2016 and they relate to events that occurred in April 2015—is that the only documents I have seen, the exchange of correspondence between Dr Nahan and Mr Hockey, do not either constitute or evidence an agreement.
