Both. The report was actually referring to state targets. They were not Commonwealth targets. Our recommendation, through COAG, is to ensure that the justice targets are consistent targets that are adopted by all the jurisdictions. It has to be a consistent target based on best practice. We have said that there will be a suite of activities in this area and that justice targets should be a part of Australia's approach to it. The justice targets are a part of the responsibilities of states and territories, and we will be taking our responsibilities in another way.
