Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:32): We are talking about two entities that operate with independence from government—the Australian Electoral Commission and the Australian National Audit Office. In terms of the interaction between those entities, I can take it on notice to seek information from them, but I am not able to provide Senator Roberts with details of those interactions. They're certainly not interactions directed by the government. The PRESIDENT: Senator Roberts, a final supplementary question?
