Resume your seat. We're going to move forward because any member of parliament could, including a member of the crossbench, reference a report, and if I were to simply sit here to ask for every report to be verified—I assume, given that this report has been announced, every single member and everyone watching across Australia will now check the accuracy of that. And I would hope that, in any world that it wasn't accurate, the member would have to come back to and apologise to the House if he misled or said anything inaccurate.
