Birmingham, Sen Simon

Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Education and Training) (14:33): I will do my best for Senator Roberts, although the framing of your question, asking whether we wholly or in part base our actions on CSIRO evidence, does, of course, by its nature, invite an answer slightly more than one word, which is, indeed: we certainly, in part, base it on CSIRO evidence, but we draw from many different scientific agencies to inform the government's decision-making. The PRESIDENT: Senator Roberts, a supplementary question.
