-----we are constitutionally bound to act as a collective. Collective decisions can only be made when we sit down together to form a collective view. In that sense, there is no view on any of these issues. That is the constitutional obligation on a Minister and it has nothing to do with what I think. I acknowledge that the Senator respects the constitutional position in that regard.
