I was a member of that committee. I was on that inquiry and I attended not quite all but virtually all of the hearings. I would not pay too much attention to what they quote in the media because the Australian has got it wrong. The committee did not recommend that, because the committee could not reach agreement on it. We were very careful not to make a recommendation, as I recall, on that.
