I will happily sit here patiently if you want to seek advice from the advisers, who have come all the way from the other side of the building to help us out here, as to why community concern in Western Australia is of any less note or value to the Australian government than that in south Queensland or northern New South Wales? I am very happy to wait if you want to seek advice as to why this loophole will not be closed by the Australian government. If it is simply that there is no reason, then I will take that back to Western Australia. But I think it is worth making one last inquiry to see if there is in fact any reason at all. If there is not, then we will have to make of that information what we can.
