I want to come in on that. I understand Senator Mullen did propose this witness originally. There was no backing documentation as to why the travel was required, which necessitated a delay in that witness being invited to the committee. We have been making efforts for a number of weeks to assess if we could find a time that would suit him. Only last night we heard that he did not want to come at all. It is not as straightforward as the Senator has laid out.
