		RABBIE NAMALIU: It was highlighted you know of all the issues involved, that was probably the most prominent because it took so long to resolve, and in the end, as you will recall, we came to a compromise, which in the circumstance we thought was the best way to overcome it, to move forward.
		RABBIE NAMALIU: And in order to move things forward, you've always got to look at ways to compromise on issues, so compromise will continue to be an element, but I think, you know, we also have to, now that we've got time we have to study our respective positions.

		NAMALIU: Well to the extent that obviously we're both committed to finding solutions, it is best to take account of each other's positions in these things, so that ultimately whatever solution we come up with, will be accepted by both sides.
		I wanted to say that, you know, Rabbie and I both agree that we don't like the use of the word immunities, for the reason that it rather implies that Australians working in the Enhanced Co-operation Program would be immune from any kind of prosecution for breaches of law.
		NAMALIU: On the question of whether the program needs to be reinstated as soon as possible, I think that's a widespread view that they asked to resolve these matters quickly and have the program reinstated at the earliest possible time.
