It hasn't been decided that there will be electorates as such, Senator Cash. All that has been decided at this point in time is the wording that is being put forward in proposed section 129. There are many matters that will need to be determined following what I hope will be a successful referendum, and they are exactly the matters that the parliament is empowered to determine under section 129(iii).
