We have made representations, and you will recall, Senator, that, in relation to the United Kingdom's legal proceedings, we are not in a position to intervene in the legal proceedings of another country; however, we have made clear our view that there is nothing more to be served by this matter of Mr Assange continuing to be incarcerated and we believe the matter should be brought to an end. I can only indicate to you that we are engaging at a government-to-government level, and the government has also been engaging with Mr Assange's legal team.
