I am pleased that you can show me a press clipping. That is a good contribution to this debate! I remind Senator Fisher that, as I am advised—and I will check these figures—around 57,000 agreements entered the backlog between your government’s announcement of your so-called fairness test and the legislation being passed through the parliament. If anyone on that side of the chamber wants to talk about backlogs, they ought to be very careful. I will get advice on this issue, if you wish. I am not aware of the comments to which you have referred, but if I am able to provide you with any further information I will.
