The information that has been provided to the Cole commission of inquiry by DFAT has not been released publicly yet. The member for Griffith knows that. That information is all in the possession of Commissioner Cole, and when he releases that is his responsibility. I would suggest that the member for Griffith needs to respect the fact that this commission has been set up to fully investigate the oil for food program and the contracts therein, and it is up to Commissioner Cole as to when he publicly releases those documents.
