It will not change from that. Either you are right or you are wrong. I will not try to pretend to be an expert in relation to that because I do not know what the answer is. I thank the minister for that answer. If the direction is tabled within 14 days—and I will take that as being correct for the purposes of this question—or whatever the time frame might be, and it is deemed by even a majority of the Senate that the direction transgresses beyond that which is allowed in clause 46, there would be basically nothing that the Senate could do, other than move a motion of condemnation against the government or a censure motion against the government, but we could not in fact disallow that direction. Is that the legal position?
