My apologies. I have been like a headless chicken all morning running in and out. I thank the witnesses for their contributions. It is always lovely to see them. I thank them for sharing their knowledge, stories and life experiences. I find it profoundly sad and profoundly joyous to listen to the love and the joy they experience with their families now. We all are so lucky. Like Ms Wheatley, I have endometriosis and it can be a devastating disease. It was devastating for Ms Wheatley and I was in tears hearing her contribution. It cut deep for me, so I thank her for sharing that. It was not an easy thing to do to share it with us here.

A great deal was covered today. I have some simple questions for Ms Von Meding about the 2015 Act and the amnesty, where certain families were legally recognised. I apologise because I do not understand all of that, and I want to learn a little more. If a family has remaining gametes and embryos, do they fall outside that legislation or are they covered by the amnesty? We have the 2015 Act and we are now creating a new AHR Bill. Are there any lessons, mistakes or improvements that we can learn from as we move from then to now?
