Mr. Rob Wright:

I do not think anyone knows the answer to that. It could and should make a difference. Given that reasonable advice was ignored, the Senator is also asking whether good advice would also have been ignored. It could have been. The dynamic of this set of advice is that there should be a broader engagement with people, that there should be more disciplined advice on offer and there are ways, through that outer engagement, for there to be wider interest in the risks. The vast majority of Ministers I have met look for proper advice on which to make decisions that will be good for their countries. They need to be well served in order to make informed decisions. I cannot provide an answer in respect of one smoking gun.
