This is in the legislation that we've proposed. That person would be required to provide information to the Attorney-General in the same way that a potential director would. I'm not necessarily talking about conflicts of interest for a proceeding, but we'll get to that. In the first instance, that person would have to provide all direct and indirect pecuniary interests that that person has or acquires in any business, whether in Australia or anywhere else. That's how we deal with those types of conflicts of interest. You're talking more in relation to the conflict that might arise from a proceeding. That person would also need to declare that to the Attorney.
