And who is there? The Australian Electoral Commission. They do a fantastic job. Part and parcel of our policy is to get people to actually apply under the provisions of the electoral law which Labor put in—that is, you have to get yourself onto the roll within a certain period. Twenty-one days after becoming eligible you should get yourself onto the roll or, if there are changes, to make those changes known. What we intend to do—and we have already been doing it—is to increase the advertising amongst young people, with Rock Enrol et cetera, to get them enrolled.
