Senator, I am trying to have an honest political discourse with you, not engage in point scoring. I am not in a position, nor would I seek to be, where I would make comment or judgement about that organisation or any other that has done good work in this area. I am simply saying that the expressed views of some of those parties about the interoperability provision is not a surprise. Notwithstanding that, the government believes it has struck the right balance and progressed this issue very critically.
