Senator Conroy is dealing with a complex issue. He is dealing with an issue that involves an inquiry into the leaking of information during the tender process. Senator Conroy has made it clear that his primary response to the questions asked of him is that the government is acting on that legal advice. That is perfectly directed to the questions asked of him. He is then trying to provide some information regarding those processes. He has made it clear there is an ongoing investigation and an ongoing process inside government, and I think he is directly relevant to the question being asked of him.
