My colleagues have unkindly said I am reckless, and that is probably right. In respect of that, will there be some transparency in terms of whatever the outcome of this case will be? Presumably the Commonwealth's chances of succeeding will be greater as a result of this legislation, but we will leave that to one side. Will there be some transparency in terms of whether recovery of costs will be sought against those parties? Is that something that as a matter of course we would get to know about, for instance, through the Senate's question time, questions on notice or indeed the estimates process?
