Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note the minister did not answer the question about whether we would have the government ruling out a High Court challenge or clarifying legislation, given that the move to debate it next week is to get it off the federal agenda—this is about state legal rights in terms of the Constitution. Can the government now tell us whether there is any legal advice from the Crown Solicitor or any other source regarding the legality of the Greens bills for marriage equality in state parliaments? If so, will the government now table that legal advice?
