Thanks very much, and thank you all for your presentations.

My first question is to the Privacy Commissioner, and it's related to encryption, the recent decision in the United States in the debate with Apple, and this notion of balancing security and the privacy of consumers.

Does the Privacy Commissioner have any thoughts as to how we might strike that balance and what we ought to be looking to with respect to the issue of encryption?
