Just on the hypothetical, obviously there are rules around who can sit on a panel. Maybe I as a nonlawyer would not meet whatever the particular requirements are. In some sense, we're interested in the rules. My concern is we have a situation where, if it is in fact just a lawyer that makes the decision, we will have lawyers making decisions that could bind Australia to payments of billions of dollars. That's the concern that I'm raising.
