for the people that qualify for it, and I think the maximum time is five years, the earliest they can get out is three months early, which before this, there were schemes like HDC tag, which was like three months early you get out. What is that? Sorry, I just, we don't, it'd be good to explain. So HDC is home detention curfew. It's like a tag. And if you're well behaved in prison,

you kind of, you get eligible to get a tag and come out three months early. But I think that was, if I'm not wrong, I think that was under four years at the time. Yeah.
