Mr BRERETON —My question is directed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to the erroneous argument you used to the Chinese government as to when and why the decision to abolish DIFF was made. When you met with Indonesian Ministers Habibie and Ginandjar and had to explain to them why DIFF was being abolished, did you mislead them too?


Mr DOWNER —You are running out of questions now, Laurie. I made the points about the meeting with those ministers in my statement last night and I certainly did not mislead anybody.
