I am not sure where the quote exactly came from, or the context, but I can assure you that I received no such report from the Commonwealth government or from my department. In fact, the entire conversation is about: I wish I had received the sort of information that we have seen on the Four Corners report. My whole submission in the media conference the following day was to say that I wanted to change some of those particular ways under which I received information. I had decided that I would embrace it even if, conventionally and traditionally, it had been outside the purview of the Commonwealth minister. I am not exactly sure about the context of the question, but the entire conversation around this has been around ensuring the fact that I did not receive that information. So somehow you are saying that I have confirmed that I have received this report. Well, that information is incorrect, because I did not receive, in 2015, that particular report.
