With respect, it should talk about something in writing, if you follow me. I have no real issue with it other than the fact that it is very confusing to people.

I turn to amendment (17). I am very concerned when you, in note form, spell out that the offence in section 10 relating to the supply of DSGL technology 'may not apply to the holder of an approval'. Surely that should have been a section, not just a note.

I know that other people want to get some work done tonight, so I will keep going. In amendment (22) you have used the expression again: 'relating to goods'. That is a nebulous broad term, particularly when the Commonwealth is exercising a right of forfeiture. I take it that there is no right of appeal and that it is not a reviewable decision. Thank you.
