I do not have one in particular, but I do want to refer to one of the schools in my duty electorate of Wakefield. As I indicated to you, this program is being rolled out in 190 schools. One of the first schools that received funding under this program was the Elizabeth Downs Primary School. I would be happy to make an inquiry as to what sort of food they are providing at that school. The legislation in particular seeks to impose restrictions on food and beverage advertising on television during children’s viewing times.
