It was formulated before that point in time and, as I said, it was an election promise. Since that time, the lead work has been done by the Attorney-General's Department. It is my expectation that they would have spoken to people like corrections, youth justice and various other people. Exactly to what extent they have spoken to them and to whom they have spoken, I do not know, and I can seek to ascertain that.
