The thing I like about the member for Denison is that we served together as military officers and we serve in the parliament, and, of course, we agree to disagree on so many things!

The thing I love about your 'yes and noes' is that they are not based entirely on the full set of facts, member for Denison. You know it, I know it and the parliament knows it. The Public Interest Disclosure Act does carve out disclosure in some forms. However—and it is a big 'however'—that, of course, you neglected to tell the parliament. There is a big 'however' that deals with a range of frameworks within the act. So it is not as simple as a 'yes' or a 'no'.

I will let you move your amendments and then we will just move on.
