I have not been able to confirm that. I know I did not receive them. Can I just say that we do need a spy unit on certain shadow ministers. I could not work out who my opposition was on vocational education and training affairs, because I have never heard from them or seen a press release from them. Vocational education and training seems to be of no interest to you. Although I know Senator Mason represents on university education; he is very active.

I have sent my spies out; they are on the trail. They were trying to work out who the shadow minister was for training and vocational education, because we wanted to brief them on a bill. So I sent out a secret team of advisers from my office to work out who the shadow spokesperson is. If you can help me at all, Senator Ryan, with that matter, I would very much appreciate it.
