I will not, because I did make that imputation, and the reason is that the Prime Minister, in his own words—

The CHAIR: Senator Waters, I suggested to you that, if you made the imputation, you withdraw. You have admitted that you made the imputation, so please withdraw.

No. Can I go to the fact that the Prime Minister has acknowledged—

The CHAIR: Senator Waters, are you dissenting from the chair, because I have asked you to withdraw.

Fine; I will withdraw, but I have another question. The Prime Minister himself said, 'The issue needs to be fixed and will be fixed,' after he met the head of the Adani group in India. Clearly, this is trying to fix the issue, and hence my earlier imputation. So I stand by that, even though I have technically withdrawn it. My question—

The CHAIR: Senator Waters, please resume your seat. Minister.
