Just finally on a much sadder note, has Australia expressed its condolences to Britain over the shootings overnight?

STEPHEN SMITH: I haven’t had the opportunity of doing that personally with Foreign Secretary William Hague but at opening of business our High Commissioner will express, on Australia’s behalf, our condolences to the British people. It’s a terrible tragic event. We have been on the receiving end in Australia of comparable terrible tragedies, and so our thoughts and our hearts go out to them and to the families and friends and loved ones of the people who have been killed. So it’s a terrible day for the United Kingdom. We have great historical and people-to-people links. There are so many of us who have travelled or studied or worked there, and there are many of us who have been to the areas where the atrocities occurred. So it’s a bad day for the United Kingdom, for the British people, and our hearts and our thoughts are with them. ASHLEIGH GILLON: Foreign Minister, thanks for your time. STEPHEN SMITH: Thanks very much.
