It's my understanding—and I'm not an expert on this—that concerns over the constitution of these panels have been raised. My understanding is that there are moves afoot internationally to wrap some greater controls around these panels. I'm wondering if you could provide some details on what is happening there and, indeed, whether Australia is a party to the discussions in respect of that.
