I thank Senator Bob Brown for his question. As I said in my earlier answer, I understand that the CAD's director can seek further substantiation of claims made in the commercial and/or evidence of legal clearance. So there is a process that does involve legal clearance. I believe that you are right in that individual stations can exercise their own judgments as well. I acknowledge the point you made that at this stage there is no finding whatsoever of any legal basis that anybody has suggested. As I mentioned, I am sure that many would encourage GetUp! to seek a review of CAD's decision to ensure that they exercise all of the rights that they are entitled to.
