I do understand that Senator Xenophon has had some good discussions with the minister and the minister's office. I can indicate that the information being requested in this amendment is information that can already be made available, and that the government is happy to provide this sort of information when requested but does not believe it needs to be legislated for. The Anti-Dumping Commissioner obviously appears before estimates three times a year and can provide this sort of information in that forum. The Minister for Industry and Science has advised me that he can provide an assurance to Senator Xenophon that he will provide this type of information when it is requested.
