(—) (): I thank Senator Smith for his first supplementary question. My understanding of this issue is that there is no change, but I will follow that up with the finance minister. I say this: given that we are fortunate in the Senate to actually have the finance minister present, then, of course, these questions might be better directed towards the finance minister. That would save me having to come back with answers to you. Can I suggest that it might be more appropriate in the future that those sorts of questions be directed to the minister who is responsible for them. (Time expired)
