Minister, thank you for your answer, a number of answers ago, in relation to that further information about exactly how the detainees were released, when they were released and when the bridging visas were granted to them. Just for the plain-English understanding of anyone watching, just so I'm clear: some people were released and then some time later visas were issued to them. In other words, there was a period of time in which they were in the community with no visas and therefore no restrictions?
