There are a number of aspects there that Senator Milne has asked, and I am not sure which aspect she wants me to address. I have given her the information I have been provided with in relation to this referral. I think she asserted in her question something like that the act said there would be an automatic rejection. I make the point that in the context of statutory discretion there is no such thing as an automatic rejection, and I am sure the senator would be aware of that. I am not sure I can assist the senator much further in relation to this issue. I have provided the information that I have.
