My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Did the minister or his department approve any of the seven new import contracts between Australian companies and Saddam Hussein’s regime, which we now know are the subject of AFP investigation for possible breaches of UN sanctions against Iraq?

My department was asked a series of questions in Senate estimates about this, and I would commend the Hansard to the honourable member and have nothing to add to what the department said.
