I move:

That the Senate take note of the explanation.

I point out that this question is in fact two months overdue; it was asked three months ago. My office contacted the minister’s office and advised that I would be asking when an answer would be forthcoming. It was my understanding that it was coming soon. I am sorry that Minister Wong does not have an explanation, but I will nonetheless make a few points about this question, because it is not the only one which is outstanding from the government for a very long period.
