One case. I will get to the Productivity Commission. And that case has not even been resolved yet. This is a well-known case brought by Philip Morris on plain-packaging regulations. I will get to the international evidence, too, Senator Whish-Wilson.

The Productivity Commission has been verballed a little. I note that some of the Greens senators have taken to quoting the Productivity Commission, saying that we should not include these provisions in ICS agreements. Let us read the whole quote of the Productivity Commission.
