I am glad you have started quoting sections of the bill to us. I will continue in kind. We will just step through this, and I will invite the minister now to jump at the point where he hears me misinterpret a section of the act. I just want to step through the sections that the minister just quoted to us: 72.38 of the bill—offences relating to cluster munitions. It appears to me to have been drafted more and less using exactly the same language as the convention. It is comprehensive. There is nothing there that I would consider has been left out. That is what Australia will henceforth be bound to. Is that a correct reading of section 72.38?
