My recollection is that the government did give a commitment that, once the package of reforms to a variety of other matters concerning the Trade Practices Act were realised, which has now occurred, we could move on the question of section 46. I cannot tell you off the top of my head the Treasurer’s timetable for that reform. I will get some information during question time and, hopefully, report to you at three o’clock as to what, if any, information is available on the time line. But we did give that clear undertaking. As you know, it was conditional upon the passage of other measures, which have now been agreed by the parliament, and, therefore, I expect that we will be able to move fairly quickly. I will get as much information as I can by three o’clock.
