I thank Senator Joyce for his question. It gives me the opportunity to answer the question. The key is that, Senator Joyce, you are factually wrong. Senator Joyce was talking about different things. He was trying to compare apples with oranges—comments about apples compared with comments about oranges. But that is no great surprise. This is a senator who yesterday stood up and offered to table a document he was given in confidence. He was given an advance copy of a document and he wanted to wave it around pretending it was a public document.
