Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
Of course, that's fine. And there is a sub-question to that. You're more than welcome to answer it now or come back to us later on that one. But I just wanted to know what sanctions, if any, should follow for lobbyists who operate unrecognised, assuming that…

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
I've got you. I'm going to come back a little bit on sanctions, if that's okay with you, because I know that you touched upon it previously when I asked you the question. But, what sanctions, if any, should basically follow the parliamentarians who are…
