Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and International Security) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade. I refer to his answer to my question yesterday when he stated:

The structure of contracts was purely a matter between AWB and the United Nations.

Does the Deputy Prime Minister also recall telling this parliament exactly the reverse when he said ‘the certification that DFAT did on the contracts was in the structure of the contracts’? Was the responsibility to approve the contract structure the UN’s, as you told us yesterday, or the Australian government’s, as you told us last year?
