I need to make a clarification here, okay? And this goes right back to the earlier days of the inquiry, but I'll just stop the clock there, just to make this very clear because it's important, as we engage in the process of public servants and politicians. Public servants are responsible for providing advices, for giving the widest context, for giving information and for ensuring that Ministers are as widely informed as possibly they can be. The civil servant is not responsible for the decision made. The responsibility for the decision made is held by the politicians. So, I can let you continue your questioning but just be mindful of those two separations, Senator, okay?
