And so, Mr Speaker, that is what the Attorney-General at the time did—and did so with the support of the government. After further discussions with the Western Australian Premier, I took the decision for us to withdraw from the case. It was our view that the normal convention that applied outside of a pandemic, and the situation of the pandemic, led us to make that decision and we withdrew that decision. And I'm pleased with the result that was finally arrived at by the court.
