It is worth noting that, unfortunately, I had leave yesterday afternoon because I was ill and I was unable to attend the breakfast this morning. So, if you would like to withdraw that, Senator Cameron, be my guest.

Senator Ketter, thank you very much for your question. It is also worth noting that, in the 11 months since the parliament resumed last year, in over 12 sitting weeks, 46 Senate question times and 193 Labor Senate questions without notice, I still have not been asked a question by the shadow minister for human services, so it is a great pleasure to receive a question from Senator Ketter today.

A government senator: Who is it?

You might well ask. What did I say? One hundred and ninety-three questions were asked by Labor; not one asked by the shadow minister for human services.
