Minister, if you believe that we have a very good government and system in Australia, why put the ISDS in in the first place? The whole fact is you have not answered the question. Who is responsible for paying it? If you have a multinational company that comes out here and is then suing the government, whether because of a change of legislation which has caused it to lose profits from its business or for whatever other reason, is the taxpayer responsible for that payment?
