QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:51): I'm certainly aware that the BOM undertook testing of its new website prior to it going live. They've put it on the public record themselves that there was—I'm not the most technologically advanced person here, but I think it was what's known as a beta website, which is, effectively, a draft website enabling people to provide feedback on that.

There are probably many people here who know these things better than me! I am aware that the BOM did undertake that kind of testing, but, beyond that, I'm not aware of any other testing that occurred. If there's anything I can add to my answer, I will.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Cadell, second supplementary?
