That's not the same as registration, but I do understand that we probably won't get any further on that. In terms of those who have access to a standard offer, do they have to be on ACMA's list or, for example, could an independent media journalist, under the $150,000 profit, be able to strike a deal under that standard offer? You've said that commercial agreements aren't subject to the code, so I guess it would just be a different commercial agreement. However, you would also have to rule out whether the use of such offers are making a contribution to sustainable media or not. Can these offers only be picked up by people on the ACMA list?
