You can seek leave, Senator Payman. Is leave granted?

We're happy to work offline with Senator Payman and have a look at what documents she seeks to table, but normal custom would be that those documents are shown to party leaders or representatives and then we would give leave. That is the normal process.

We don't need commentary from anyone else. Senator Payman, perhaps you would like to talk to the leaders, and you can table it later on.

No, Senator Payman, it's not a debate now. If you want to talk to people offline, it can be sorted. Thank you. Pursuant to order, I call on Minister Gallagher to provide an explanation.
