Again, I don't think there's any dispute that the presumption itself needed to be rewritten, clarified and simplified. The point that Senator Hanson and I are exploring is the fact that, in this legislation, the government repeals it in its entirety. Do you now accept, as the Labor Party did in 2003, that the presumption was a response to the outcomes of many, many years of Family Court cases that were decided without any kind of legislative guidance on the value of shared parenting?
