Thank you, Member for Kooyong, for this question. I acknowledge your deep interest in this issue; indeed, it's one of the reasons why you are the member for Kooyong in this place.

I was asked a similar question by the member for Clark in the last sitting week—I think it was the last sitting week, but it was fairly recently. The issues that she raises are very important to this government in and of themselves. They are important in and of themselves, but they are also important because they go to this government's character. We are a government that keeps our promises—in every respect.
