With respect to the article in the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald about when I was on the backbench six years ago, I reject outright the accusations and the innuendo, as I do those that the member from Maribyrnong raised today. With respect to when I was a minister years later, all ministers know the process for procurement, all understand how procurement is run by the public service and how procurement is run. Having said that, the member for Maribyrnong and I are on Q+A tonight, which may well have informed his motivations, and I look forward to taking the stage with him.
