I'd like the minister representing the Treasurer to actually answer this question. On top of the banks' use of this time-honoured strategy of delaying tactics, Commissioner Hayne also outlined this morning that not all victims of misconduct who have made submissions will get a hearing, due to time and resource limits. This will be disappointing to many Australians. If the commissioner were to come to the government and request an extension of the royal commission's time frame, would you consider that request? Or will you let the banks use delaying tactics to run out the clock and avoid proper scrutiny?
