I refer to the story that appeared in The Australian of November 27, 2014, page 6, headlined "AusAID rapped over fraud loss".

In that story, the foreign minister, Ms Bishop, said she had been informed in October 2013 by officials of "a number of fraud cases under investigation in the Australian aid program."

My request is for the relevant ministerial submissions in DFAT's (or the former AusAID's) possession regarding these fraud cases, including names of the suspected perpetrators, dates, details of the nature of the fraud, locations, actions taken, the estimated amount of the fraud in each case, how much if any was recovered, whether any AusAID or DFAT officials were disciplined or reported to enforcement agencies, and their names.

I similarly seek all relevant ministerial submissions of a case mentioned by Ms Bishop in the story where she says "one has been resolved with the money repaid."

I request the relevant ministerial submissions made under the current Coalition government, and the previous Labor government.

I also request any responses from Ms Bishop or her predecessors to these ministerial responses.

Ministerial submissions relating to the specific cases of aid fraud on which the Foreign Minister was briefed.
