So not that Mr. Kelly is aware of.

Obviously this is not just about residency, but the interaction of three different ways of thinking about residency - the legal right to reside, habitual residency and reckonable residency. A lot of the concern in the earlier section was about the interaction of those three, and particularly whether reckonable residency is going to be a determinant on this. In as plain, simple English as possible, could Mr. Kelly give us a sense of how those three types of residency are likely to interact? Given that there does not seem to be any clarity in the general scheme on how reckonable residency is going to interact with the other two, what is the Department's thinking about it at this point in time?
