We haven't actually discussed national security, so, in terms of your earlier answers, can I confirm that your earlier answer was: 'It is a matter for the parliament.' This is an important issue, and an issue that is often raised by people in relation to the Voice is the fact that it does have a constitutional right to make representations, as we have established, in relation to absolutely anything. If it is absolutely anything, it will include national security. So again I ask: how does it work if the representation goes to a national security issue or if the Voice has been granted access to national security classified information to help in its deliberations?
