I thank Senator Birmingham for his question. I don't think there are any inconsistencies here. I am advised that the travel advice remains to exercise normal travel precautions. To the best of my knowledge, in answer to your earlier question, we have not changed the advice other than to say to exercise normal travel precautions. My response, particularly to the issue of Qatar, was to say that if they want additional flights into Australia then there are opportunities for them to use existing rights. One of those rights, as you well know, Senator Birmingham, is to fly into airports like Adelaide Airport, like Canberra Airport, like Broome, like Cairns, like Avalon— (Time expired)
