I am going back to it because it is actually like dealing with the former minister, Senator Coonan. We have a complete rewind from Senator Minchin in that he is adopting Senator Coonan’s failed policy positions. Let me be clear: Labor’s election commitment will be delivered. But let’s not get away from the cant and hypocrisy of those opposite. When Senator Minchin was in charge of finance, he undertook a number of scoping studies in relation to Medibank Private, ComLand, the Defence Housing Authority and the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation. These scoping studies were all undertaken under Senator Minchin’s watch. He would not comment on them and he did not release them. (Time expired)
