The burden of my question really relates to, in circumstances in which the company chooses not to use the court—because of course the multinationals can use our court system; we don't constrain them in any way from doing that—the difference between an Australian company raising an ISDS application and an international company raising an ISDS application, because that's the mechanism they wish to go down. Can an Australian company raise an ISDS application against the Australian government?
