I commend the Senator and her team on their persistence over the last seven years. We are hopefully in the final stretch. I am hopeful that we get this across the line with both goods and services. On that, I want to turn to the Attorney General. Obviously we are awaiting an opinion from the Attorney General about how he would advise the Government to proceed with services. This question is particularly for Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Liston as legal experts in this area. How do they feel the Attorney General's opinion will go? What areas is he likely to be looking at? What will he point to to support his decision, whether it is positive or negative? Something I referred to yesterday is the frustration about the time it is taking. How long do the witnesses think work like this should actually take?
