I do not mean to try and avoid the question but I am not competent to provide the sort of advice that Senator Brown asks for. I am happy to take that on notice, but it goes to an act outside of my portfolio. I am not briefed as to the specifics he raises, other than to say that, as I said, the act is law and Qantas will have to comply with that. I also note that his question goes to an announcement of an intention by Qantas, so action not yet taken. As I indicated in response to the earlier question, we will continue to monitor Qantas's activities, if you like, as they move down this path, to ensure that whatever action they take is compliant with the Qantas Sale Act. But I am happy to take on notice the specifics of the question asked and ask whether Mr Albanese, as the relevant minister, can provide any more information.
