Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Clearly, we will not get the answers. Let us try this: given the minister’s failure to tell us last week, will the minister confirm the Attorney-General’s advice to the House that on 11 June this year there were 508 children being held in detention? Was the Attorney right? Now, just 10 days later, how many more children are in detention?
