I apologise if my questions have not been direct enough. I really want to conclude this line of questioning. Does the Attorney concede that there will be circumstances when, as part of, say, an investigation of a breach of copyright as a criminal offence under the Copyright Act—or perhaps in the seeking of an injunction under the proposed copyright regime that has yet to be debated in this parliament—in order to prove the case against those who are profiting from that breach of copyright, there will need to be access to the metadata of people who will not be charged with a criminal offence?
