The reason I am asking here, through you, Mr Deputy Speaker, to the minister is that we have asked these questions in Senate estimates and the department refused to answer them. This is an opportunity for the minister to actually give us an answer here tonight and, if he is unable to, can I take it that the commitment he has just given is that we now will have answers to these questions?
