Could the Minister furnish Senators with that evidence before Report Stage? We have a number of weeks before we are back in session. I would like to see that evidence in document form. The local development sector would not agree with what the Minister has just said, therefore, if he could furnish us with whatever reports he has that prove that point, I would welcome that.

The Minister said that the audits highlighted a number of issues and that all the cases were dealt with. I asked him whether he believes there is a need for a full investigation into what happened in MFG and the other companies the Minister said have not been managed properly. The Minister might tell us if he is willing to have a full investigation into MFG and the way that company ended up going into liquidation because I have asked many questions about it. Many other people have asked questions about it also but we have not got the full answers as to the reason what happened in MFG was allowed happen and why the auditing process failed so miserably over a number of years-----
