Yes, we've thought it through. Obviously you weren't here a little bit earlier in the evening when I explained the extent to which we have consulted with the communities that are affected by the cashless debit card. We have said to those communities that we are going to give back to them what they've told us they want, which is choice. You made it compulsory. We are offering Australians a choice. I'd be confident that, hopefully, the sorts of issues you've raised won't present themselves once we get back to a situation where people can make their own decisions about their own financial management.
