Mr CREAN —My question is again to the Minister for Industry, Science and Tourism and it relates to the letter that he tabled earlier in the House. I refer the minister to the fact that that letter shows that DIST did not tell the industry how to conduct the lobbying campaign and that the industry organisation did not seek advice from either the minister or the department on that issue. It does not say, however, Minister, that you did not advise them. I therefore ask the minister: do you deny that you provided a hit list to industry and do you deny that you advised industry present how to lobby in relation to it?

Mr MOORE —The tactics committee must be really short of something to say today. A very explicit answer was given last time to the question asked. I have no more to say.
