Subhead B12, Referendum Commission. It was not deemed to be sexy at all, to use the Minister's word, but it is becoming quite sexy at the moment. Is there a sunset clause for the commission or will budgetary adjustments arise, for instance, if the same-sex marriage proposal is acted on by Government? That would require a constitutional referendum budget and will remain as a budget subhead if constitutional issues require it. Is that correct?
