(1)On what date did he become aware of the serious corruption allegations against the former Minister of Defence and Military Veterans during her tenure in the specified portfolio; (2) whether the information was known to him at the time when he discharged her as the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
I became aware of the allegations against the former Minister of Defence and Military Veterans when the allegations first appeared in the media early in March 2024.
Hence, I was not aware of the allegations at the time that I made changes to the National Executive in August 2021.
