I am grateful to Senator Feeney for his response on behalf the government, but something is missing here. Is it not within the wherewithal of Senator Feeney, repre­senting the government, to advise whether the addendum to the explanatory memor­andum was actually shown to the RSL? I do not think is it an unreasonable question. If the RSL has been shown it, and has not said anything about it, that might, if it does not solve the problem, go some considerable way to resolving this issue. If the RSL is acquiescent, if it is comfortable, about this addendum to the explanatory memorandum, it would reassure me about this issue. Is it not possible to establish whether the RSL has been shown a copy of the addendum to the explanatory memorandum that was filed this morning?
