Senator Hopkins is understandably impatient when we say this but she will also be aware as much as anybody else of the sensitivities surrounding this and the difficulties that we ran into. Rather than say "start again", maybe I should say "a fresh start and a fresh attitude and fresh outlook", because there were difficulties and sensitivities in which we, as much as every other side, made mistakes. We want to ensure that those mistakes are not repeated and that we are aware of those and prepared to take careful but prudent steps to avoid those sensitivities being aroused again so that we get the result that we want.
