Senator SINODINOS (New South Wales) (14:33): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! It is no-one else's question. Senator SINODINOS: Why was this referral made by the secretary of the Prime Minister's department? Why wasn't it made by the secretary of your department or the secretary of the funding department—that is, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, I will give you the call when it is appropriate. You are entitled to be heard in silence.
