Based on the answers I've given you to the previous two questions, both governments are acting. There is an audit underway. There's an assessment underway by AUSTRAC, which is appropriate, and a report to be provided in May. I don't know how much faster you can be in assessing the concerns that have been raised—the serious concerns that have been raised—around the Perth Mint. AUSTRAC, with their responsibilities, have to assess compliance with anti-money-laundering and counterterrorism financing laws, which is something I did respond to in the first question. That is their responsibility. So the Commonwealth, through its agencies, is responding to the areas that it has responsibility for, and the report will be provided in May, which is two months away. I think that is a pretty swift response. As to conversations between governments, I have no doubt that there have been some. (Time expired)
