Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Over the past two days, the minister's Liberal colleagues have said that he is 'wrong', his job is 'untenable', his statements were 'breathtaking' and 'the most stupid words I have ever heard from a senior minister'. Given that the minister has lost the confidence of the Senate, his parliamentary colleagues and the ASC workforce, will he now take the only honourable course of action and resign?
