My question is to the Special Minister of State. This week in question time, the minister said:

… I at no time passed any diaries to any journalists. Can I be any clearer than that?

Can the minister be clear with the House now: did the minister pass any documents concerning the former Speaker to anyone, including, but not limited to, members of parliament or staff?

I can confirm for the member for Isaacs that every document that I have ever had any part to do with has been in the Federal Court. They have been presented to the Federal Court. There is no more; there are no less. Any document that you are referring to that has gone through my lawyers to the Federal Court is the sum total.
