I thank the Minister for coming before us today and the quite substantial volume of information given to us, which has taken a while to read and go through. A question that has been bugging me a little is that this started because the documentation arrived at the Cabinet table without going through meetings prior to that. I am a bit of a loss as to how that could happen. How is it that this did not appear at other meetings first, either with party leaders or advisers, as would be normal? Will the Minister comment on that?
