To be clear—I'm sure you don't have a real-time Hansard in front of you—I said that that will be determined in consultation as the register is developed. What we have done today is agreed to the tripling of penalties to ensure that it is clear that the conduct of telcos with regard to triple 0 is very serious, and the public expects them to comply with the laws they are already required to comply with and any new directions that the custodian or ACMA deliver under these new laws.
