Okay. I do like to go a bit rogue, and I'm sorry, Chair, I am going to ask a question that's been pressing on my brain for quite some time, rather than follow the chain of command of questions I already have lined up for you. But, I remember, previously, the…

Okay. I appreciate differences, and I appreciate changes and contractual agreements and everything else that you've just mentioned. If there's one term that I've learnt probably more so from your department, it's probably the term 'partial retirement'. It's…
