I don't have any knowledge of the meetings of Minister Dutton or Minister Taylor—no more than I suspect that you, Senator Rhiannon, know of the meetings that your Greens' colleagues have in the course of any day! But I might be wrong. So I can't be of assistance to you in terms of those ministers' diaries. I think you made reference to a firearms advisory council. Can I just make clear that there are no plans to establish a new firearms advisory council or committee. The Firearms Industry Reference Group has existed since August 2015 and comprises the firearms industry and the Australian government. The government regularly consults with the relevant stakeholders across industry to hear a range of views. That is really all I can assist you with at this time.
