My question is directed to the Assistant Minister for Health. Can the minister confirm that the assistant secretary to the Department of Health with responsibility for the health star food-labelling initiative was contacted directly by telephone by her chief of staff on 5 February last week, demanding that the food labelling website be removed? Can the minister confirm that the same official was removed from that position six days later, on Tuesday of this week?
