Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. ASIO's real spending has grown consistently in recent years to reach $414 million in 2012-13. I assume this will be boosted by the government's $630 million counter-terrorism funding announcement. Given that an independent efficiency review is considered valuable in the case of the ABC and SBS, will the minister commission an independent efficiency review of ASIO?
