I can see why we would be. Obviously, not every state is necessarily going to be in that place, so it is something we will have to keep on the agenda while accepting there may be difficulties in regard to delivering it. The wins are fairly obvious.
I accept what the Minister is saying in regard to the international mechanisms from the point of view of delivering what we might call a more equitable means of operating aviation taxes on long-haul flights and so on. Would it be fair to say there is no real conversation happening on this or that it is fairly minor, and that we are a long way from any of this being resolved or of deals being done, or whatever else is necessary?
