Thank you, Mr President. I was just getting to the second part of the senator’s question. What I can say to him is that the arrangements for contact with Australian officials are detailed in the document that was provided to those people on the boat, and we have released that document publicly. Yesterday the opposition did not seem to have caught up with the news. It is a public document. It was tabled by the Prime Minister yesterday. The details are there. We have made it very clear what our position is. (Time expired)
