As the Minister of State will reply to both Senators, there should be no difficulty. We will get through the Commencement matters quickly. The first matter was tabled by Senator Feighan who has the floor.

I am really sorry, but a mistake has been made in the office. It had nothing to do with me I hasten to add.
