My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to last night’s interview where the ABC’s Tony Jones asked the finance minister whether it was ‘odd’ to plead the case of John Grant at a meeting where Ford Credit was seeking financial support from the Commonwealth. The minister replied: ‘I don’t think necessarily it was, Tony.’ Treasurer, at what point does it become odd to hand over the mobile phone number of the Prime Minister’s benefactor and friend in a $500 million facility negotiation?
