My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the answer he just gave that the government's $16 million grant to Cadbury in Tasmania was a local tourism infrastructure grant. Why then did the Prime Minister's own press release announcing the grant state:

A portion of this commitment will go towards a trial to grow cocoa trees in northern Australia.

I stand by the answer I have given.

I seek leave to table the press release of the Prime Minister where he says that this grant will be going to ensuring that there will be a trial to grow cocoa trees in northern Australia.

You are merely seeking to table it. You do not need to read it out. That is out of order.

Leave not granted.
