This is the first time, to the best of my knowledge, that anyone has raised an issue of concern about this. Clearly, there could be a range of matters that need to be looked into and weighed up. I am happy to look into it. I am happy to see whether it is, in fact, a problem. I am not aware of any contraventions around this. To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of any consumers who are concerned about this. I have already put on the record that I will check my correspondence and that I will look into it. I will make it one of my Christmas priorities. It is right up there.</text>
