My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. The Auditor-General's audit of Tourism Australia, covering the period now Prime Minister Morrison was its managing director, found that under Mr Morrison Tourism Australia breached procurement guidelines, engaged companies before signing contracts and conducting value-for-money assessments, and withheld information from the board. Can the minister confirm that the New Zealand Auditor-General also conducted an inquiry into the New Zealand tourism board, covering the period now Prime Minister Morrison was the director of the New Zealand office for tourism and sport, and found Mr Morrison also withheld information from this board? Precisely how many audits, investigations and inquiries have been conducted into organisations being run by now Prime Minister Morrison?
