I am almost loath to answer that because the conversation at the other end of the chamber is so entertaining. But my suggestion to Senator Sinodinos is that he be very cautious about making unfounded accusations. I am certainly happy to get further details from the Assistant Treasurer.

The government is also aware of the importance of continuing to engage with stakeholders in the development and finalisation, or the consideration, of policy.
