Thank you for your indulgence, Senator Rhiannon. Finally, just to avoid doubt, could I clarify that, if a journalist—and I am just talking about journalists here; I don't mind if you lock up foreigners who are doing bad things—receives a document that is cabinet in confidence and is about a pending decision on health and has no marking other than 'cabinet in confidence', this provision would not be invoked?
