I suppose the first point to make is that the agreement or arrangements entered into between the government and the Greens and the arrangements entered into between the government and minor and Independent senators have been the subject of press conferences by all those parties, and the nature of those agreements and the breadth of them have been made public at press conferences which have been very well attended. Also, the broad documents, as I understand, have been largely made publicly available. It seems to me, Mr President, that those parts of the question asked by Senator Abetz are obvious to everyone. They have been the subject of public discussion and the subject of press conferences held by the parties. So those matters are all on the public record. (Time expired)
