I don't actually think there was a question in there, so there's probably nothing for me to answer. I had already taken on notice the earlier points. I note that with the example Senator McKim just gave—and I can only assume that the facts he laid out of that individual are correct—he omitted to mention whatever offence it was that that person had been convicted of. It must have been a very serious offence, that led to very high aggregate sentences, for that person to be captured by that legislation—if, indeed, that person is captured by this legislation.
