Dr. Cecil Beamish:

I am sorry. We will be constrained in what we say on that. There have been 600 licence determinations since 2013 and we do not have with us all of the information on each of those. As such, what we will say will be constrained to general statements. My colleague, Mr. Quinlan, will address the matter in a moment.

Senator Daly used the term "rolling over licences". I will work from memory. Under the amendment made to national legislation, an applicant whose licence had expired by virtue of the effluxion of time, had applied for a renewal and was awaiting a determination on that could continue to operate within the terms and conditions of the licence previously held. It is not the applicants can operate freely. Rather, they must operate within the licence's terms and conditions.
