Under the Coastal Trading (Revitalising Australian Shipping) Bill 2012, an application for a temporary licence requires detailed information for each voyage. Do you believe that, as your bill is currently structured, there is scope for this to be manipulated—with people contriving voyages or being put in a position where they have to make the number five? What is so impressive about the number five that is not impressive about the number six, the number four, the number seven or the number three? How did you come to the number five?
