I've just explained to you the process of how we deal with these issues. I can repeat this over and over again, Senator Paterson. Maybe at some point you'll get that I've answered your question. There is a process in place to deal with this. I've explained how it's working. I've explained how the AEC have given a report saying that they didn't see any evidence of foreign interference in the last election. I'm hopeful that by adopting exactly the same set of procedures in the referendum we get exactly the same result so that sometime after the referendum there will be a report that discloses that there was no foreign interference in our referendum. The process is all set up to deal with it, Senator Paterson, and I can't understand for the life of me why you can't understand that.
