I can tell you, though, that there were court proceedings about matters. It may well be that the actual execution of those depended on the value of them, because there are Treasurer's Instructions about who has delegations to do what, but I will find out about it. And I can assure the honourable member that the person sitting to her left is not Elvis.</text>
