I thank the senator for the question. I do recall writing to the Senate on behalf of the Treasurer in relation to this issue and setting out what I thought at the time was quite a substantive answer. I know you asked, in particular, for details of legal advice. I think the Treasurer, through me, indicated why that was problematic but gave a response in relation to the substantive issue. I have to say that I think you are asking me to give you precisely what the Treasurer indicated was not possible: legal advice in relation to the agreement. I do not have the letter which was presented to the Senate to hand, but I would refer you to that letter and if there is any further information in relation to the question I will come back to you.
