          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:07):</by>  I wasn't briefed about any potential breaches by Nu Skin before the meetings with them. I received a briefing that we were meeting with them and they were a company that would bring a large number of people if we were successful to win the bid. The bid was put on by the Convention Bureau and I played a very small role in that bid, supported by Tourism Australia. I wasn't briefed and only became recently aware that there are some breaches that may have happened in China, but are nothing to do with our bids or any briefings that I have had.</text>
