QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator CICCONE (Victoria) (14:37): Thank you, Minister, for that comprehensive answer, and I hope some of my colleagues on the other side are listening carefully.

Are there any risks facing this critical agreement, Minister? I'm going to listen very attentively, as I hope those opposite will!
