I will. This has been a very useful discussion. Senator Fitzpatrick has summed up quite well one of the points that was put forward by a number of public representatives that, perhaps, has not quite hit home at this stage. I also believe it would be useful if we have those meetings. One thing that was probably missed in the SHD legislation was around the fact that when those websites were live, sometimes they were hard to find. If, for example, people typed in the name of the website plus "SHD" but, due to the search optimisation, Google did not necessarily bring them to the site. That was something which, perhaps accidentally, somewhat limited the opportunity for engagement, for the understanding of the plans and, consequently, for consultation. What we set out to do here is cherry pick the things that worked from the SHD legislation and bring them into this new piece of legislation. There is an awful lot of good around the public consultation element, the use of the websites and the use of those public consultation meetings. I would like to see that reflected in the legislation.
