Yes. In this instance, it might simply be me being aware that it's a foreign entity that is trying to influence me. I'm very aware of that but perhaps when I pass it to my colleagues in the party they're not aware of that. So, in some sense, it's the politician who would normally be carved out through privilege, but this is an area where, I think, there's some uncertainty.
