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) (14:39): I thank Senator Thorpe for her second supplementary question. The government is obviously preparing a response. I made very clear in my two previous answers, as well as in the answer that I gave to the other question that I was asked, that this government takes these issues seriously, and we seek to carefully deal with all of these issues and to prepare an appropriate response.

Again, I shall forward your question to the Attorney-General and come back with a formal response.
