As I indicated previously in response to the first supplementary question, there is no requirement being considered at the moment by Sport Australia, as I'm advised by Sport Australia, for an eight-year term. As I was saying in the conclusion of my last response, there is no requirement for those representing Australia or participating in international boards to hold an NSO position here in Australia, so I'm not sure that the circumstance that has been described by Senator Bernardi with respect to those who currently hold those positions would apply. I know that, for example, Matt Allen, Sarah Kenny and current world sailing champion committees sit on the world sailing executive, and their recent resignations from NSO executives due to term limits would not affect international limits.
