The FaCSIA member, as is well known to the senator, has been in the community for some time and is not necessarily part of the deployment. The individual is an asset of FaCSIA. The capacity for that particular individual to be able to interact as successfully as he has in that community will continue. I have no information about his actual delegation, whether he has been blessed as a government business manager or not, but I know he remains in the community and he continues to assist us. But I am not able to provide you with information about his exact status. He has been in the community for a long time. We expect a valuable asset like this particular individual to remain in the community for some time to generally assist with governance arrangements, as he has, and no doubt in the future it will be in the context of the intervention.
