Joyce Review
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:36): Supplementary: how many days was Steven Joyce in Adelaide as part of this review? How did Mr Joyce travel to Adelaide? Who paid for that travel?
The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:36): It is interesting there were three or four supplementaries there, Mr President.
The PRESIDENT: I am glad you can count, the Hon. Mr Ridgway.
The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I met personally with Mr Joyce, I think I can recall, on three occasions, but I don't know if he had a lengthy amount of consultation. I'm sure members, if their IT skills are better than they were, say, a few months ago, have downloaded a copy of the report, where they would see all the different people and different groups he consulted with. I don't know exactly how many days he was here in Australia. I will again take those matters on notice and see if I am able to bring back a reply to the honourable member.
