On the matter that the Attorney just raised, I understand that what he is saying is that each of those actions that are being brought before the High Court are individual actions. So the position being pursued by the individual on Christmas Island will be assessed separately to the positions of those claimants who are making their claims on the mainland. I just want to clarify with the Attorney that each of these cases will be considered separately. It is not a class action; they are separate actions being brought by these individuals. So the claim of the person on Christmas Island will be considered in the courts separately to those who are on the mainland and have been transferred?
