It meant that we were able to get through issues and incidents quickly with clarity for everyone involved and people had signed up before.

the issue was upon us.

I think there's a benefit to that.

And that's something where we're committed to continuing working through the AFL.

And, um, you know, I'd like to think we can find a way through that, but I don't think you can have necessarily something that's so prescriptive as, you know, this equals X, but I think having an understanding of, um, of the parameters you're working in, it would be really helpful for everyone.

And that's why we have such a commitment to inclusion.

And we know, having heard from representatives of that community, that's really important.

We want the game to be as inclusive and safe for everyone, full stop.

And we think at the moment we've got some work to do.

And we're really committed to doing that work because ultimately the game will be better off when everyone, irrespective of communities, but in particular, the LGBTIQA plus community feels comfortable and confident enough to come and be themselves and participate and perform and contribute to this game.

And I think that's really important to us.
