Senator COOK (Minister for Industry, Science and Technology and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Science) (11.16 a.m.) —That is advice to the Minister for Trade from the Attorney-General. I would need to approach the minister on that subject as I understand it is privileged advice. While I tabled my legal advice, as Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, in dealing with the research and development glitch, that is not necessarily a precedent for all other ministers in these circumstances to table theirs. I say that to protect the interests of the Minister for Trade. I will refer your question to him and see what his answer is.
