That is extraordinary. We have a situation where we have been given legislation less than 10 days ago and we have a very rare opportunity to drill down into how this legislation is going to work on the ground. I am asking for a specific response to how this will work on the ground at Wadeye, seeing that you already have a FaCSIA member there. My question is: will this person become the government business manager? I do not think it is unreasonable to take that question on notice and give us a response to that.
