If you do not want him to go scot-free, you tell us what you are going to charge him under if you bring him back to Australia—and that is what you want; you want him repatriated to Australia to face justice in Australia. Tell us under what law and on what crime he has committed he can be brought to justice in Australia. Not one of you can answer that question. It is all to do with the process where you feel some public sympathy, and a lot of Australians feel some sympathy for someone who has not undergone a trial after this period of time. But I tell you this: not one of you who have added this—‘to face justice in Australia’—can say under what law he will be charged. How can he face a court in Australia when there is no charge to answer in Australia? Can you please tell us what you want to charge him under.
