Senator Whish-Wilson, you will resume your seat. Senators will note that in the previous series of questions I reminded senators that, when questions are very strictly worded, the test of direct relevance can easily be strictly applied. This question contained a preamble, and I believe the minister was being directly relevant by stating facts that are relevant to assertions you made in your preamble, Senator Whish-Wilson. You've reminded the minister of the last part of your question, but she is free to continue being directly relevant to parts of the question as well. Senator Hume.
