Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and International Security) Share this | Hansard source

My question is addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to the question that the opposition asked the minister in parliament concerning his knowledge of this cable of 13 January 2000, containing the UN’s warnings about the AWB’s inflated contracts with Saddam Hussein’s regime and the minister’s answer: ‘... of course I would have read them’. Minister, was this a true statement?
