I have actually seen the Prime Minister's answer. I found it quite flattering, actually, Senator Kitching. But I think the point that the Prime Minister was at pains to make is the extraordinary obsession the shadow Attorney-General, Mr Dreyfus, has with me.

Senator Dreyfus, I am sorry to say, Senator Kitching, has developed a very, very unfortunate reputation around this place in the last year or two as the man who cried wolf, because every time Senator Dreyfus has mounted a political attack on me it has fallen flat. Do you know why it has fallen flat, Senator Kitching? Do you know why it has fallen flat?
