Qango means quasi autonomous non-government organisation, which the Australian Wheat Board, being a privatised government body was.
The 220M was claimed, understandably enough, as a business expense, which means the Australian taxpayer paid Saddam to buy our wheat. The question was 'Did the Minister for Foreign Affairs know of this' and the terms of reference took care of that.
