Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Does it not follow from the minister's last answer that the government did not seek advice until it had been told of the imminence of the lockout? Had the government sought advice sooner than that, would it not have been in a position to make a 431 declaration immediately and thus avoid the lockout, avoid the grounding and avoid 48 hours of inconvenience to the Australian travelling public?
