I am not aware of the article that the member for Griffith refers to. I do read some international papers, but I cannot recall reading that particular edition.

Just as a general point to the member for Griffith: right through this debate, when allegations and assertions have been made, the government has made inquiries, got the information and taken it back to the UN. The UN Security Council 661 committee, which had responsibility for the certification of these contracts, every time continued to certify those contracts and those contracts continued to be operated on.
