  Kevin Rudd and mate car loan connection

  I am suprised that how could a Senator tried to stop a civil servant

  to answer questions in a Senate hearing?

  2.When they claimed they cant find the e mail.They may say the truth.

  But it do not mean that no such e mail existed.

  Labor senators and fellow Treasury official David Martine spent more than 10 minutes trying to stop Mr Grech answering a question about whether Mr Grech had seen a document from Mr Rudd's office regarding Mr Grant.
  
  Liberal senator Eric Abetz, who asked the question, said he accepted Treasury hadn't been able to find such a document, but that didn't mean one hadn't existed in the past.
  
  When Mr Grech finally answered the question he was clearly emotional.

  THE head of a car finance company says a senior Treasury official provided him with the mobile phone number of an Ipswich car dealer who'd previously given the PM a ute and was seeking Federal Government assistance.

  Ford Credit managing director Greg Cohen was grilled about Government representations on behalf of the Ipswich Kia dealer John Grant during a Senate inquiry today.

  The inquiry was presented with emails from Treasurer Wayne Swan's office to Treasury lobbying on behalf of Mr Grant.

  But a Treasury official said there'd been no similar representations from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's office.

  Mr Cohen told the inquiry that during a February meeting with Godwin Grech - the Treasury official running the OzCar scheme - Mr Grant was the only dealer "substantially" discussed.,,,
