Where is that reflected in recommendation 19? It reads:

The Committee recommends that the Australian Law Reform Commission—

this is the actual recommendation; if there's another recommendation that I don't have in front of me, please feel free to read it out, but where is what you just said recommended in this:

The Committee recommends—

that's the recommendation: 'recommends'; this is what they recommended—

that the Australian Law Reform Commission, as part of its current review of the family law system, develops proposed amendments to Part VII of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), and specifically—

it's quite a specific recommendation—

that it consider removing the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility.

All I'm asking you to confirm for the Hansard record is: the recommendation of the committee was not to remove the presumption—please take into consideration recommendation 19; I'm happy for the advisers to take it into consideration—but to expressly and specifically ask the ALRC whether it should be removed. Is that correct?
