Yeah, okay, so that answers the last part of my comment a little more as well. I wondered why the Fed gov had the ability to reach into a separate organisation, turns out thats very much up for debate whether they really do.

I've come late to this story, so i guess that was what all the rushing of legislation through the parliament was for in the last few weeks.
