Senator Mason would be aware that these issues that Senator Brown has been raising about the public transparency of the processes of this group were raised during the inquiry and we had an interaction about that. My understanding of the response Senator Mason made to Senator Brown’s question earlier regarding the public statements about what happens at the working group was that there would be a public communique on the website of what had gone on at the meeting. I want to clarify if that is going to be the ongoing operating practice for the group—that the questions asked by Senator Brown today and questions during the inquiry by a number of witnesses, about a transparent understanding of the outcomes, will be the process.
