Thanks, Senator Cash. Just to remind you—you've got the Hansard there in front of you—I did give you the information in a later question. But, for the purposes of today's conversation, I will reiterate that information for you. I refer to my previous answer. I'm advised that the director in a previous role as counsel assisting provided advice to the Office of the Special Investigator that had been established by the former coalition government. I'm advised that this advice in no way conflicts with her new role as director. The director will continue to review and consider, and the director would declare and stand aside if need be. I'll leave it at that. I think that answers your question. If you need more information, let me know.
