I want to thank the member for Goldstein for bringing us back to what matters here. This conversation is an incredibly difficult conversation for many thousands of people who are watching this right now. They find it distressing because they know that, when victims of sexual assault report these matters to the police, they often go into a process which is revictimising and retraumatising. In every instance, I behaved ethically and completely properly, respectful of the issues at hand and respectful of the people involved.
