by leave—The coalition would be more than happy to debate this motion fully and provide the information that Senator Brown is actually looking for. I do note, however, that all of the technical information surrounding these issues is actually on the public record. It has been extensively FOI'd by the Greens. So in regard to the issues about who got the money and where it went that is all well and truly known to the Greens because they have undergone an extensive FOI process. I understand it has also been studied by the Australian National Audit Office. We would be more than happy to debate this issue, so if Senator Brown and his coalition partners, the Labor Party, were to provide Senator Macdonald, Senator Abetz and me some time in the chamber we would be more than willing to put on the public record the issues that Senator Brown seeks as part of this motion.
