Thank you, Mr President. The minister was quite reasonably responding to the nature of what was an absolutely ridiculous question talking about parliamentary friendship associations in relation to South Korea, and any suggested role of Mr Thomson is absolutely ludicrous. Unfortunately, Senator Macdonald shows again, as have other senators in the last couple of days in this end of session, that they simply cannot hear what is occurring in the chamber.
