Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I ask the minister to specify for the Senate exactly what ‘the near future’ means. The Lockhart website has stated that the Australian parliament will consider the findings of the reviews in consultation with the state and territory governments. When will the federal parliament get to review any of the recommendations or any legislative form of the Lockhart reviews; will our government consult with the states and territories when it comes to considering the findings of that review; and can we get a better time line, please?
