I understand that it is the responsibility of the Northern Territory government. What we were looking at are the negotiations and discussions over this whole package, the negotiations over what the Northern Territory government is doing and any support that the Commonwealth can potentially give. To clarify—as I understand it you are not involved in that level of discussion and you are not looking at what incentives the Commonwealth can give to encourage the Northern Territory government to maybe have a more speedy response or approach to this issue. You are not engaged in that level of discussion.
