Is the Minister for Transport aware that his own chief of staff sent an insulting and offensive email to a senior member of the businesses community last week?</text>

MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:58):</by>  Can I thank the deputy leader for her question. I am sure that my chief of staff is in constant contact with several members of the business community. I am surprised to learn that any of those members believe that they have been the recipient of an offensive email from him but, now that you've raised it, I'll investigate that.</text>
