I think when you look at the history of these matters and how impactful they've been—it's always hard to respond to a question like that, when you haven't seen the transcript and seen the context of the interview, which is often important in these matters. But we know that there has been a level of offshore gambling and that, when that happens, no Australian benefits from that. In fact, for illegal gambling companies, there's no taxation, there's no regulation and punters may not even get their money back. So this bill is tough on illegal gambling. We make no apologies for that. We think it is something that is a threat to the Australian industry.
