I want to take you now to a different issue, although I look forward to the fact that the courts will, in my view, have quite a lot to say about the drafting here. I imagine that the government is exposing itself to legal challenge with regard to the extreme levels of uncertainty that surround this bill. But that's your problem; I don't think this bill should be proceeding at all. But you mentioned in the process of this drafting that the Attorney had been consulting with the states on trespass law. Did the scope of those discussions also cover whether or not farmers should have the right to say no to coal and coal seam gas companies entering their land for the purposes of production or exploration?
