Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS (New South Wales) (14:01): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister confident that the record of the government of New South Wales, in particular during the period of his premiership, is compliant with good international practice? Does the scandal and corruption revealed to have been engaged in by Labor politicians to whom he gave patronage, such as Messrs Obeid, Macdonald and Roozendaal, compromise the minister's credibility as an advocate in his capacity as foreign minister of honest government? The PRESIDENT: The minister need answer that in so much as it refers to the portfolio.
