As Senator Cash would be well aware, there is a legal definition of the term 'reasonably foreseeable'. In essence, and I understand this was also based on some of the commentary of judges within the case, it is impossible to set a particular time period of five days, ten days, ten months. It's a commonsense test. It's difficult to go beyond the legal definition of the term. There isn't a precise number of days or months.
