It is interesting, Minister, that you raised the Dallas Buyers Club example. Dallas Buyers Club was fought tooth and nail by iiNet. It was contested. What would have happened if iiNet had simply folded, and handed over their users' information? It certainly would not have found its way into court; it would have been over in a day. That is precisely what we are concerned about here. If iiNet had not stood up and attempted to protect the rights of its users, that would have been over and done with very rapidly. That is precisely what we are talking about in this instance.

I commend these amendments to the Senate.
