Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Does the minister recall the Prime Minister saying on 20 November 2007:

… if we have ministerial staff who themselves are directly engaged in effective decision-making within government, then of course they should be accountable before parliamentary committees.

How are such people able to be called before parliamentary committees if the government refuses to say who they are?
