A further process might be worthwhile just to protect the Commonwealth, I suspect, but I appreciate that answer. I want to go now to the two out of three rule. Can the minister confirm that, even with the two out of three rule, it is still possible for the number of owners to fall from six to four in regional markets like Bundaberg, Townsville and Rockhampton and in Cairns you could still go from seven to four? Minister, could you confirm that that is the case?
