I will take further advice on this. I am always happy to do so and to come back to senators individually or collectively. The question is in order because it refers the minister to a previous statement. That is within the standing order. However, a minister, in my view, can refer to a previous statement in answering that without necessarily detailing what is in that statement. If I have any change to that advice, I will report it to the senators involved individually, or to the chamber if it is of grave interest.
