QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:37): I never, ever, ever mislead the Senate. I make a determined effort on every occasion to make sure that I answer each question directly. If on the odd occasion I do get it wrong—sometimes I do; I have to admit that—I come in and make an admission.

I would say, based on the question you've just asked me, that the answer I gave on that occasion was the correct one. Two is more than one, and it's a multiple. If that's the question you're asking me, my answer is that I've answered it correctly.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Tyrrell, second supplementary?
