Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I note that this particular person who has been appointed as an ambassador has made blatantly anti-gay comments, comments about domestic violence and comments that are anti-women. The Minister for Health and Ageing has publicly accepted responsibility for the appointment of this particular ambassador. Can the minister explain what selection criteria were used to appoint the ambassadors and how these three specific issues got through that selection process?
