Thank you, Minister. Again, that is the way you operate in relation to disabled people. It is not the way you operate in relation to First Nations people or women in Australia. That's the differential that this amendment sought to point out.

But, moving on from that, I believe, Minister, that you said—and I'll give you a quick opportunity to confirm either way—that the reasoning for the government's opposition to the Senate motion that you just voted against was twofold: (1) that you won't be responding to recommendations on a case-by-case basis; and (2) that the government has not yet responded to the totality of the royal commission recommendation and that is the source of your opposition to the amendment. Is that correct?
