Thanks, Senator Pocock. No, I'm unable to help you on that, but I do know that the legislation before us tonight will be really important. I think that there are a lot of Australians out there that are keen to see this legislation pass because it will make a difference in terms of the impact that it will have for Australians, who are sick of seeing the proliferation of gambling ads that we have seen over recent years. As I've mentioned consistently, we believe that this bill gets that balance right in terms of what we're trying to achieve, and we urge the Senate to pass it.
