I think I've been reasonably clear as the minister that, for the reasons that we've stated, we don't support retrospective legislation. I know that you're an absolute stickler for protocol and process along those lines. However, we've made it very clear in this place that, in the instance of the Northern Endeavour, to which you are referring, we are intending to bring legislation to this place very shortly in relation to ensuring that it is the industry that is held to account on these matters and that the taxpayer is not the one to foot the bill. I look forward to continuing our contribution and discussion at that time.
