          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY:</by>  As I said, I recall maybe meeting them twice in China and once here. There has been some media coverage in China, I think, around some regulatory breaches that the Chinese government is investigating. As I said, it was a bid put together by the Convention Bureau and Tourism Australia. We participated in the bid, and I don't know where those investigations by the Chinese government are in relation to those breaches. I suspect the only information available has been a small amount in the media. If it pleases the member opposite, I will see other information I can bring back for him.</text>
