Earlier today, Minister, before we moved onto other things, you said, quite complimentarily, that the AEC Commissioner was able to make himself available to senators—and, no doubt, to members of the House of Representatives. It's great that he's able to have private meetings, but could you undertake to have a special meeting of the Finance and Public Administration Committee to hold a public inquiry with the commissioner to ask these sorts of questions directly to him and get his direct feedback on the mechanics of how this referendum would be conducted?
