Before I get to the next question, is Senator Sherry saying that the government would be sympathetic to the concept being sought by this amendment—that is, that section 46 cases can be brought in the Federal Magistrates Court by the ACCC? My understanding is, and I will stand corrected if I am wrong, that they cannot be brought by the ACCC, whereas the ACCC has the ability to bring actions in the Federal Court.
