Just in response to the minister, I know we are in some sense playing at the margins. Really, what we're trying to do is put a positive obligation on the police to come back early to the Privacy Commissioner—sorry, put a positive obligation on them to stop. I think we are playing at the fringes but we think our amendment is slightly better. I acknowledge that we had talked to the Attorney-General about this and they had certainly talked to us about the amendments that you have described.
