Firstly I reject the premise of the question. Minister Taylor is a very good minister. Let me tell you: everyone in the parties of government in this chamber should be very concerned about the proposition that a letter from your political opponents to police—in particular, from a serial, unsuccessful letter-writer like Mr Dreyfus—should be the basis for a minister to be stood aside. Everyone on both sides of this chamber who might have the opportunity in the future to serve as a minister should be very concerned about that proposition.
