On the point of order, Mr President: it is very simple. The fact is that the question was clearly principally in the minister’s domain. If there are matters where the information could better be got from another minister, she ought to take it on notice and provide the Senate with that information. It is a very simple process on a matter where it is not complicated to get information to the Senate. Unfortunately, no information at all has been forthcoming to the Senate on the valid questions asked by Senator Ludlam.
