My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade. I refer to his statement yesterday that there is ‘no evidence’ that any Australian money went to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers or was used in any other way to support military efforts in the region. How can the Deputy Prime Minister assert that there is no evidence when AWB’s payments to Alia were paid into an account held at the same bank used by the Iraqi regime to pay the families of Palestinian suicide bombers?
