Given it was a question to Senator Paterson, there's not really much I can add. Even though I've been here seven years, I don't pretend to know all the standing orders of the Senate. I know there are some situations in which questions can be posed to senators other than ministers. I don't know whether this is such a situation, but Senator Paterson may choose to respond regardless.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Senator Paterson.
