Minister, again in reference to some of your previous answers, you yourself have been referencing responses to questions on notice in relation to the Senate committee inquiry into these bills. My understanding is that those responses to questions on notice were circulated by the relevant Senate committee at five minutes to midday—so a bit more than 35 minutes ago. I note that it's not an instantaneous process by which Treasury sends responses to QONs to a Senate committee and they are circulated for senators to read. I was wondering whether you could tell the chamber at what time the responses to these questions on notice were provided to the economics committee for circulation.
