Finally—'It is pretty straightforward.' Thank goodness. That means my next set of questions should actually have a yes or no answer. To bring you up to speed, Senator Watt, we asked: will there be a register of interest for Voice representatives? That is a matter for the parliament. We've established this is the parliament and you're the government. You don't know; perhaps the parliament will. Will Voice members need to declare political affiliations and union memberships? Again, bringing you up to speed, it's a matter for the parliament. Now that you've said it's pretty straightforward, we might actually get somewhere. My next question is: will Voice members need to declare financial interests?
