Indeed, Senator! Why didn't the Liberal Party release the documents? Why didn't they do that? Look, I don't want to spend any more time this afternoon on this question, because we have years in front of us on this review. We'll all learn lessons from it. We will. I'm not sure you will, but we will. We will learn. We'll adapt. We'll moderate our approach and we'll get right into it.

This order for the production of documents was complied with in December. It has been complied with. Senator Bragg notes in this motion that he believes, he says, that 'the Prime Minister has previously referred to the conducted modelling in public forums'. He should have said 'fora'. I was criticised for my syntax earlier on. It's probably 'fora'. 'Fewer' instead of 'less'—that's true. And Senator Bragg claims that this makes the minister's PII claim irrelevant. I'll help him out here: it's about contingent liability and not the home price impact model. (Time expired)
