nator WATT (—) (): Again, Senator Paterson, you have just confirmed that various Albanese government ministers have pointed to the workload issues that this committee faces. You would probably understand that yourself having been a fairly longstanding member of the committee. I don't think it's necessary to repeat the explanations that have been provided by other ministers. My comments about the composition of the committee are simply in response to the assertions that have been made by the opposition.
