The Australian government has discharged its responsibilities under all UN resolutions. The Australian government has gone further. The Australian government has done more than any government in the world to establish a freestanding independent inquiry of integrity to get to the bottom of this matter. Let me say on behalf of every member who sits behind me: this government has nothing to apologise for. This government has done the right thing by the wheat growers of Australia and will go on doing so.
