Mr RUDD (Prime Minister) (3:43 PM) —Mr Speaker, I seek the indulgence of the chair to add to an answer.


The SPEAKER —The minister may proceed.


Mr RUDD —Further to my answer to an earlier question, I was asked about government assistance when I went to Sudan and Darfur. Apart from the assistance given to me by the High Commission in London for a visa, there was an officer from the Australian embassy in Cairo who accompanied me to Sudan and assisted in arranging the program that I was on. Also, when I was in Sudan and then travelled to western Darfur, I was hosted by World Vision and I thank them for that. That was done through the agency of Tim Costello.
