So we are going to use section 46 of the Trade Practices Act prior to 1 October 2009. Can you please inform us how we are going to determine commercial terms in usage of that act, if that is the case now? Your answer really is that the ACCC is involved prior to 1 October 2009 and after October 2009. So they are involved. That being the case, can you please inform me of the dispute resolution process and how it is currently utilised in Australian trade practices law for the determination of commercial terms? Do you believe that this will be a fluid and immediate resolution process or do you think it will reflect the current resolution process, which on issues like the Telstra access regime has meant seven years now in the courts?
