I have a question for the minister about Commonwealth expenditure. I would like an explanation about the constitutional expert group—the Referendum Engagement Group or the Referendum Working Group. I understand they are all 'yes' voters and 'yes' people. So if the government are paying for 'yes' people on their engagement group and their working group who are going around selling their song sheet and singing from their song sheet, then where is the accountability and transparency in paying those 'yes' people to say yes?
