There are discussions underway at the moment, particularly with some of the large stores in Alice Springs, but I am informed that the timing, in terms of the preparation, will be two to three weeks. We have reflected on the existing arrangements that you mentioned and other arrangements and we have a great deal of benefit from hindsight. I am sure that will be reflected in the rollout of the current arrangements.
