I am just suggesting that I think Senator McLucas may—quite genuinely—have thought that I was saying that we should use this corporation for Northern Australia. I was not saying that. I did not say that. If you thought I said that, you have misunderstood me. What I was saying was that the scheme introduced in relation to terrorism, which is manifested in the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation, is something that might ultimately have to be looked at in relation to insurable risks in Northern Australia.

Debate adjourned.
