Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (14:33): The Department of Defence is not in the habit of publicly commenting on the details of that sort of advice, and I think that is a sound approach for the department to take. If there are any aspects of Senator Patrick's question to which I am able to provide further information, then I will happily take those on notice, of course, and return to the chamber. The PRESIDENT: Senator Patrick, a supplementary question.
