I would reiterate what I said in relation to Senator Ciccone's first supplementary question, and that was about the manner in which senators come to this chamber and make the decisions they make about how they vote, what they support and what they don't support. They engage with the full repertoire of information that's available to them. They engage with government. I'm sure they engage with those opposite, although one would not be sure how productive that would be. Nevertheless, those processes are undertaken and senators make their own decisions. I don't impugn the integrity of senators who make their decisions based on the information before them. I'm not going to impugn Senator Hanson. I'm not going to impugn Senator Roberts. If those opposite and Senator Ciccone wish to do so, that is a matter for them.
