Again, for clarification: if those assets were owned, in the circumstances that you describe, by an NGO, a community government council, an incorporated association or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander corporation incorporated under the act, yes, that would be the case.

Can I take that on notice and get back to you in a few moments?
