We haven't passed the legislation yet. Fair crack of the whip! The legislation hasn't passed. In due course, the AEC will do everything that it is required to do to educate people. One of the things that we know we are going to invest in is an education campaign about the referendum, and I'm sure this will be part of anything that the Australian Electoral Commission ultimately communicates with the Australian people. But have some faith that this is going to work the way we want it to work. Have a little bit of faith, both in the AEC and the Australian people, that this will work properly.
