By way of example, there are great use cases for the technology around skills and credentials, but a lot of those use cases relate to non-Australian students, regulations, processes, educational institutions and so on. So, I think it's very hard for any one country to assess its own progress.
What is definitely true is that the way Australia has set up standards, and indeed the way it has a really prominent role in some of the global standards initiatives in relation to DLT, is a very positive thing. And in order to help companies and organizations within the borders of Australia make progress on this technology, it is helpful to have some leadership in the way of standards and technical standards, but also the governance mechanisms and know-how to push things forward.
