In relation to the primary legislation that we're dealing with today, I am required to come back to this place in order for me to go past the six months of the provisions that are contained within it. Sorry, it's three months at a time by instrument. I can come back three months at a time by instrument. This sunsets on 31 December. We would imagine that between now and 31 December this place would require to make a further determination if we decided that we needed to extend these provisions past 31 December 2020. As you say, it is something that is too horrid to think about. However, this place would need to make a determination to enable me to go past 31 December with the provisions contained in these regulations.
