What we were saying at the outset is that we've spoken out for some years about the serious violent sexual offences, especially offences against children. So as we were saying, without an amendment...we quoted the professor who talked about looking at principles. We are not at all speaking in favour of some of those offences, and we've never done anything in the media speaking and being outraged about an offence like that getting a conditional sentence, but we're happy that some attempt is being made to deal with the long-standing issues around the most serious offences.
