I am very enlivened by a problem where 300 people have received convictions which, with the benefit of hindsight, appear very unjust. As I was saying to Senator Fielding, through you, Mr President, I am seeking to obtain a method of being able to adjust that, arrest that and remediate that injustice in a way that is within the law and acceptable. It is a very difficult problem but we are approaching it. I thank Senator Fielding for what I think is a very good question.
