I wish to make a personal explanation.

I do, once again—with great regularity. There must be something happening in a few days, Mr Speaker.

I note the comments from the Minister for Government Services regarding seven years ago when I was on the backbench. I reject fully the imputation and the allegations that the minister has made regarding emails that I'm not included in, have no knowledge of and, clearly, whose alleged contents are absurd. The idea that someone could present to NSC is ridiculous. I also refer the House back again to the Watt report, received by the government on the 6th of this month—surprise, surprise, it was leaked on the weekend; there must be something coming up—which made it clear, after reviewing 95 procurements going back eight years, that there is zero, none, nil misconduct identified in any way, shape or form by Dr Watt.
