I believe there are approximately ten minutes remaining. Deputy Carroll MacNeill has written her question down, so I will read it. After that, Senator Black can make her contribution, then I will leave it up to the witnesses to summarise.

Deputy Carroll MacNeill's question concerns nation building and state building. Knowing what we know now after many failed and some successful examples of developing new polities around the world, incorporating minorities and other groups with representative disparities, how do we do that well? Our concern is that we are failing to ensure that the Good Friday Agreement is well-implemented, and that in addition, these unity discussions getting louder and louder risk pushing that further away as a possible outcome.
