Joe Hockey (North Sydney, Liberal Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, my question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his statement in the House on 4 June, when he said that Mr John Grant ‘made representations to my office, and he was referred on to the SPV, just like everybody else’. Can the Treasurer confirm that at a meeting between Treasury officials and the chief executive of Ford Credit in Melbourne, on Monday, 23 February this year, at which Ford Credit was seeking access to more than half a billion dollars of taxpayers funds, Mr Grant’s case was raised and his mobile telephone number handed over by Treasury officials in the full knowledge of both the Treasurer and his office?
