Regarding the 2015 reference to the Productivity Commission, I am not sure I can provide further details, because some of the questions the senator asked are for the Productivity Commission. It is the government’s view that we have made a very clear policy decision as a result of the discussions with the senator’s party about exclusion indefinitely. That remains our view. The senator is asking me to second guess what a future government, or a future parliament, might do. As he knows, nobody binds a future parliament. Obviously, I can only indicate what the government’s position is.
