Thank you, Minister. In that case I will change my line of inquiry. As you will see from the amendments circulating in my name, I seek to unwind the retrospective provisions in item 8 of schedule 1. I do acknowledge that the retroactive provisions are narrow and only apply to convictions up to 10 years before commencement for sentences of at least 10 years. On that basis, it would appear that you have certain people in mind to which they will be applied. Is that the case, minister?
