Thank you very much, Speaker. There is no mystery why the Deputy Leader of the Opposition is asking this question today. I have been asked questions about this kind of matter all week by the Leader of the Opposition, only to have it revealed that he has not been briefed by ASIO once during the term of this parliament. So I am not at all surprised that when it comes to matters involving ASIO the opposition approaches these matters with so little knowledge and so little understanding, because the Leader of the Opposition has shown so little care to become informed.
