Minister, before we were rudely interrupted by the adjournment debate last night, I was trying to ask you a question about decision reasoning and the publishing of decisions. You'll, of course, be aware that often decisions are published in respect of the AAT and the courts so that people in the community can understand what the rules are, how the law works and the operation of the bill in this instance. If there are never any reasons made available for people to look at to understand why something was rejected, how is it that the government will inform the public and entities that are subject to this bill of, basically, the mood of the government and how to avoid getting into a situation where an agreement is entered into that ultimately gets overturned or where they start to walk down a path for an agreement which then later has the minister intervening?
