Given the tightened timetable due to the imminent calling of the DD, I can kind of understand but surely Minister Nash & miniscule Chester are kicking butts to get the AQON out in time...

Especially after the Senator Carr/Wong motion on the subject of unanswered QON & the subsequent smackdown from Senator "I'll be back" Cormann...  

Update: Looks like the relevant agency sessions will be lumped together...

Tight schedule, the person at the back of the room will be dizzy...

Still no sign of the 227 AQON - Ministers? Murky?..anyone??
