Thank you, Attorney. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that this is clearly on the public record—there have been newspaper articles and an SBS television report on it—there are serious concerns that Ms Rivas could flee Australia while the government drags its feet in relation to her extradition. Acknowledging the weight of allegations being made against Ms Rivas, involving eight victims, one of whom was a pregnant woman, why hasn't the Australian government acted to provisionally arrest her while it investigates the case?
