No, not perfect, member for Bruce—that's very dangerous! That's very dangerous ground; it's very rarely perfect, if I can just give you some guidance. The point I'm making is that I wrote three weeks ago and I'm not going to get into the habit of writing every day, or every two days or whatever at this point in time. I think the member for Fenner has made his point. I'm not saying that I won't write again, but, certainly, in the whole time that I have been Speaker, I haven't had anyone say, 'I asked you to write three weeks ago and I still haven't got a reply. Can you do it again?' That's where the member for Fenner is trying to break new ground, but he's not going to at this point.

Dr Leigh interjecting—

I couldn't understand what you said, but don't take your mask off to clarify, please!
