I thank our speakers for taking time with us today. This is such an important piece of work. We have had many sessions on it now. I really value the opening statements. There might be some questions that hark back to other opening statements. As somebody who is not expert in this area, I am trying to join the dots and make it make sense. I will turn to Shine first to ask about the role of family and how they interact with a human rights based model. That model places the person at the centre. One of the things we heard from some other groups is a concern around people's insight into their own situation. That might be the best way of saying it. As a group that works not just with people who are experiencing issues themselves but also their families, could Shine outline how it sees that delicate balance being achieved within the context of this legislation?
