Senator CAMERON (New South Wales) (14:38): My question is to be Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. I refer the minister to his press conference on 4 February where he said the government 'had all the facts before us' in relation to SPC Ardmona. I also refer him to the Prime Minister's false claims, that have since been corrected by SPC, that SPC employees enjoy a range of allowances, loadings and working conditions. Was it these false claims which where the so-called facts that led the government to reject SPC's request for assistance?
