One of the things this government does trust is the intelligence of young people in Australia. There is no compulsion whatsoever in this, Senator Di Natale. This is simply an offering so that those people who, due to their circumstances, choose this as the right product for them can then enter that market. We are presenting no position other than to say, 'This should be a choice.' This is another choice. Young Australians are intelligent. There is no compulsion in this. I'm quite sure they will be able to make a decision based on their particular circumstances at any time in the future.
