I was saying—and this is relevant information for those wanting to know this—that existing concession users of the mail redirection service were notified in February 2006, three months in advance of the changes to the fee structure. In addition, existing users are being invited to renew for up to a further 12 months free of charge so that they have time to update their address details with their correspondents before choosing to incur any charge on a redirection service. Customers who in future prefer not to pay for a mail redirection or a mail-holding service still have a number of options. I am sure I will get a supplementary question, and I will be very pleased to go into those options when Senator Conroy asks a supplementary question.
