Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:17): As I said earlier this week, appointments of my staff are always done through the standard procedures, and of course there is communication between officers on appointments. I cannot recall the first person who was spoken to in this case, but the appointment was made through standard procedures. In terms of timing, I can take those questions on notice. The PRESIDENT: A supplementary question, Senator Farrell.
