I am interested in Senator Conroy’s point, and I think we briefly touched on this at the committee hearing. It was something that did concern me as well. I hear what the minister says, but I wonder if someone who has more time than I could actually look at this. I thought it was the department who gave an answer on this. It might have been ACMA. There were a lot of things happening that day, but I thought they said that they would look at them all—and there are a lot of other criteria to be looked at because there are a hell of a lot of anticompetitive instances to be looked at. Someone might perhaps look up what the department actually said because I thought an answer was given which, as I recall, sort of satisfied me at the time. Senator Conroy’s memory may be better than mine on what was said.
