Again, with all due respect—I know Senator Barbara Pocock has returned to the chamber, and we had agreed that we would cede time to Senator Barbara Pocock—I will come back to the question. The talking points don't answer the question. The question was specific. You've admitted that there are gaps, even though your evidence earlier this morning was that you were confident there were no gaps. I'm happy to accept the change in evidence. There are now gaps. I'm assuming that you're of the opinion it was merely the vibe of the ABCC that was excessive, but the issue does become that there is a difference. You've stated there is a difference. I am asking you what powers you thought were excessive. I'm happy for you to come back to that, because we had an agreement that I would cede time to Senator Barbara Pocock.
