In terms of berleying, I understand the current regulatory approach is to have two licences using berley. The third licence applied specifically not to use berley, but to use acoustic attraction. So, as I understand it, that is the current make-up of the three licences: two have applied to PIRSA on a regular basis for exemption for the use of berley, and one does not because they use sound as an attractant. I think, as we have heard in this chamber previously, sometimes some famous tracks from AC/DC are utilised. I can't name what they would be.</text>
