Just because a minister doesn't know anything about, or says he doesn't know anything about, criminal charges for cartel conduct relating to a friend of the Prime Minister's does not give this minister the licence to talk about criminal action which is entirely unrelated to the grant or to any other activities. It would be a travesty if the ruling is that direct relevance means you can talk about anything if you don't know the answer to the question.
