I think that the political comment that you have made, Senator, is a matter for your judgment. It has no bearing whatsoever on the minister's consideration of these issues. I have indicated to you that the minister is considering these questions very carefully, that there are a number of privacy and legal issues that need to be addressed and that it would be premature to release the report. As to any other speculation you may choose to articulate, it is completely irrelevant to the consideration of these matters in the terms that I have outlined.
