Senator BOB BROWN (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:25): My question is directed to the Minister representing the Prime Minister. I ask: is the governor of Oruzgan province in Afghanistan, Mohammed Sherzad, a good and important ally for the Australian contingent in that province? Is it true that this governor has asked to be transferred from his post because it is too dangerous for him to stay in office? Can the minister tell the chamber whether the Prime Minister met the governor on her recent visit and whether or not he discussed the fact that it was too dangerous for him to remain in that office in Oruzgan province?
