Tony Smith (Casey, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the minister. In the final minutes we have left I would like to move to another couple of areas with the minister. He referred a bit earlier to a busy time in his portfolio on the final day when he was Assistant Treasurer. I know he has many busy days, but I would like to take him back to another very busy day and that was the day prior to the handing down of the budget—Monday, 11 May. I ask the minister the same question I asked the Minister for Finance and Deregulation: what time of the day did he discover that Budget Paper No. 1 had to be pulped?
