My question is to the Special Minister of State. I refer to the minister's answer yesterday during question time, when he referred to a statement. That statement makes reference to 'allegations involving the disclosure of diary notes of Mr Slipper'. Directly in that context, I ask the minister: did you ask James Ashby to procure copies of Peter Slipper's diary for you? Does the government regard an action of that nature as appropriate?

I thank the honourable member for his continued interest in this subject. I will just point him back to the comments that I made on 18 November in that statement. I have nothing further to add.
