Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the minister's answer, can the minister explain why, then, in my recent visit to Korea, Korean government representatives actually expressed to me great disappointment with the Australian government's decision to cancel the SPH contract. Will the minister now concede that he was wrong to be so dismissive of Senator Nash's legitimate question canvassing Korean industry's concern about the sovereign risk of investing in Australia as a result of this government decision?
