Clearly the senator was not listening when I answered his question. I can confirm that there have been changes in the number of air security officers on selected routine international flights. I went on to say that I am advised that those were in line with recommendations from an operational risk assessment review. Therefore when you look at the issue that he asked about you see that I have already answered that. I am happy to provide that again. In relation to the question of what may or may not be in the budget, that covers budget related matters; and I am positive the senator on the other side would understand and accept that.
