Senator Whish-Wilson, I thank you very much for that condescending and very patronising question. However, it does not change the fact that that has been asked and answered in many ways. It is not relevant to these customs amendment bills, yet we have spent several hours now answering the same questions over and over and over again. I can assure you that I have not been left in the lurch. I am very confident and very happy to be moving these bills through the parliament. You can keep wasting the committee's time with these questions, as is your right, but, again, I know these questions have been asked and answered, and I refer you to the Hansard.
