I'll simply say that I understood the explanation by the departmental official about the law of self-defence. I'm not entirely sure this is applicable in the circumstances. I'm trying to get my head around whether this is a subset of the self-defence defence. I was very persuaded by what the defence lawyer said at the time, and I wanted to bring it forward today, because of their powerful intervention. I can't say any more than that. You all heard the same testimony.
