Please explain former High Court of Australia Justice Kenneth Hayne&#39;s jape?
<p>The questioner is Oxford Law Prof. <a href="https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/people/joshua-getzler" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Joshua Getzler</a>. Former High Court of Australia Justice Kenneth Hayne answers at <a href="https://youtu.be/ivjp2nNb2A0?t=4108" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1:08:28</a>. They're both Australian.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Joshua my answer is very simple. If you could let
me have something in publishable form, my
time for final report is 1st February
next year. I'd be much obliged.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Undoubtedly Hayne is <a href="https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=josh" rel="nofollow noreferrer">joshing</a>! Because sitting next to Hayne, Lord Mance —  former Deputy UKSC President  — guffaws, and thumps the table with his hand!</p>

<p>Justice Hayne was acting as a Royal Commissioner on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Commission_into_Misconduct_in_the_Banking,_Superannuation_and_Financial_Services_Industry" rel="nofollow noreferrer">banking misconduct</a> and the issue being discussed was in the scope of the RC. The joke (as such) was he was asking for someone to write the final report for him.</p>
