I very much respect that these are issues that Senator Siewert feels very strongly about and is very passionate about. They're not issues related to this bill. They're legitimate questions, and I'm happy, on notice, to provide answers to them. I believe you will be a member of the Senate select committee, and I'm sure that, through that work, you will ask the COVID-19 Coordination Commission chair to appear. I would encourage you to put these questions to them too. These questions are not related to the legislation in front of us. I'm mindful of the time, and the fact that Australians probably expect us to get this to a close in the not-too-distant future.
