The opening statement by the minister was that the minister was going to correct the record from a question that was asked yesterday. The appropriate time to do that is at the end of question time, and always has been.

Senator Conroy interjecting—

The minister has one minute and 41 seconds remaining to address the question that was asked by Senator Brandis. I invite the minister to answer the question.
