I wonder whether the minister would be good enough to take that question on notice and come back with an answer during the committee proceedings. I just go back again to my reference to the courts taking into account the special customs and practices of other groups including, for example, the Exclusive Brethren. Would this legislation cover customary law and cultural practices of the Exclusive Brethren as well?
