That was suitably evasive and chilling. I ask a supplementary question. The UK parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee has demanded a report from GCHQ and will visit Washington to convey their concerns directly. Other governments, particularly across Europe, have expressed extreme concern at the scope and apparently warrantless nature of this real-time surveillance program. Does the Australian government have any concerns whatsoever—anything at all—over the scope of this project and, if so, have you communicated such concerns to the US? (Time expired)
