I am reminded that they already have a procedure and an approach that is followed in respect of section 67 applications now. Mr Chapman, I think, is quite capable of thinking around whether or not there is sufficient clarity if there needs to be anything else, but really it is still the same approach. The definitions are there. ACMA does this already. So it is difficult to imagine that they would not be in a position with their current procedures and approaches to be able to communicate with those wishing to engage in these transactions and to have a clear understanding of what is required under the act and the way in which ACMA will approach it.
