Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Was that advice all gathered together in the last three hours? You stated in your own words that you were ambushed on the weekend. Is this yet another example of the government not so much being ambushed but being caught flat-footed for events that were obviously impending, as we have been seeing the senior members of Qantas around here for quite some time? Is it to be anticipated that this will be another stuff-up just like the live cattle trade ban was?
