I thank Senator Ruston for her question. The first observation I would make is that, as the former minister, you would be aware of advice that has been received in respect of the Racial Discrimination Act in relation to the legislation that you dealt with on these issues. It's not customary for us to release that advice. You're obviously aware of previous advice in your former capacity as minister, but we're not proposing to release that legal advice.
