Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that, if a Centrelink client stated that their failure to report 72 share dealings, involving tens of thousands of dollars over a period of 16 months, was an inadvertent oversight, the breach would be excused? Would the minister consider this excuse believable? Or does he agree with the Prime Minister that such a repeated failure to properly report these matters could not have been an oversight?
