Senator KROGER (Victoria—Chief Opposition Whip in the Senate) (14:15): I ask a further supplementary question, Mr President. I refer to the fact that since this scandal broke, Mr Slipper has officially visited Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and Cyprus and, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, in the coming months he has booked trips to Italy, Morocco, Malta, Algeria, Tunisia, Qatar and Argentina. Given today's reports of Mr Slipper's disgraceful and misogynistic attitude to women, does the minister believe that Mr Slipper is an appropriate person to represent the Parliament of Australia? The PRESIDENT: The minister can answer that question insomuch as it applies to the portfolio.
