I just seek some clarification in relation to the correction to the explanatory memorandum. I obviously did hear Senator Brown's explanation, but, to just give us comfort, are you able to direct the chamber to the provision in the bill that makes it clear that the directions referred to in clause 14, which allows for the minister to give directions to the board in relation to the performance of functions and powers of Creative Australia, are not subject to disallowance? I appreciate you made that statement, but I would like you to confirm that please, given where we are in the proceedings.
