Again, that wasn't the question that I asked. Under the first design principle, it makes a statement. The statement is to the effect that the parliament and the executive government should seek representations in writing from the Voice early in the development of proposed laws and policies. Again, it goes to the implied duty to notify and to consult. So my question is about consequences. You have here a design principle which makes certain statements in relation to what the role of the parliament and the executive government is. If they don't, and if we go back to what I can make representations in relation to, it is matters that relate to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. So there are going to be a lot of representations that need to be made. Are there actual consequences if the executive government fails to do so, because, if there are not, what stops the executive government from not doing that?
