Alexander Downer (Mayo, Liberal Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

As I explained to the House last night, if there has been any breach of the Australian regulations or the UN sanctions then that is a matter to be investigated by the Australian Federal Police. I am not going into the details of what it is—I do not want to compromise the inquiry. The Labor Party making a political point is fair enough, I suppose, to compromise the inquiry, is it? Only a fool would compromise the inquiry. I am not proposing to do that and I am not going into any of the details in relation to that particular investigation. It is a matter for the Federal Police.
