You will be pleased to know the question does not relate to our former discussion but rather to an event that took place yesterday. I wonder, Mr Speaker, whether you would contact Professor Peetz and offer him the facility that exists in the chamber under the resolution adopted on 27 August 1997 which is the right of reply of persons referred to in the House. Professor Peetz was subjected to a pretty scurrilous attack by the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations—this has also occurred in the other place. I would suggest that it might be in order if you were to contact him and make the facility available to him.
