I was then going to go on to say in the context of the support we provide for rural Australia that that particular report I do not have a brief on. It is a matter that the government would take seriously. The information that has been provided about that report does not tell me who released it. It was released yesterday. It does not tell me who prepared it, how it was prepared and what the use of it was, whether it is a state or federal issue. All of those things I am sure I will be able to take on notice and provide a response to, Senator Milne. It would be helpful for the minister if she were provided with that additional information—if it remains a matter within the health portfolio for her to respond to.
