Senator Whish-Wilson, I'm now convinced you are trying to have a lend of me in this extended filibuster, because this has been asked and answered. They are two separate processes. There is nothing in that that precludes us from doing what we are doing already or from taking any actions the Australian government wants to take in those fora. You can keep asking me the same question, but the answer will be the same. They are two separate processes and two completely separate issues, and there is nothing to preclude Australia from taking the action that we are already engaged in.
