To be fair, we get into a chicken-and-egg type of arrangement. It would be sensible to allow the review to come forward and report because the interaction between two pieces of legislation would be dependent upon the management plans that AFMA will develop and that Environment would have an input into. That is how I envisage it working. I do not want to second-guess an outcome from the review.
