Sorry, that is not an answer—that it's hypothetical. You have put the ISDS in the agreement. You must know that if a multinational company were to sue the government—they must sue someone—then someone has to be responsible for paying that. So it is not a hypothetical question in any way whatsoever, and the people of Australia demand an answer and should have an answer to that. Are the taxpayers responsible for the fine?
