Yes. To be fair, I did end my comments on last-resort funding before I asked my question. I will acknowledge that. My question was about the rules around exceptional circumstances for those in jail. The position in the legislation is that people in jail are unable to apply for redress but the operator has the ability to determine, in exceptional circumstances, if they can. I'm asking: what are those exceptional circumstances for people in jail to be able to apply?
