I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question, because it gives us an opportunity to clarify a point here. I will just complete the quotes with the parts that the Leader of the Opposition failed to read out to the House. The Minister for Transport and Regional Services said in his speech: ‘I am not in any way seeking to condone activities that are not appropriate. We do have high business standards and ethics in Australia, and even if they are not shared in other parts of the world that does not mean that we should compromise our standards or in any way compromise things that are inappropriate.’ That is also what the minister said.
