Yes. If this is what a second supplementary does in terms of putting pressure on ministers, I think we had better go back to the old system. As I explained, this document is a one-year progress report of the new government for the Australian public. It is a perfectly appropriate thing to provide. As I said, it is about us providing accountability for our actions. In terms of some complicated argument about a document put out after 100 days, I really cannot help the senator. I think this is a modest but important document that stands as a record and a report to the Australian public. It is a very important and, I think, appropriate thing to do.
