In that case, I have a question for the minister. If the minister says that the existing arrangement is enough, does the minister believe that the recent scandals that we saw over the summer—where members of parliament used public money to improve their own personal position with investment properties—amount to something that should attract the attention of the criminal law, or does the minister believe that that is the kind of activity that should only be dealt with by a 25 per cent penalty?
