I have a supplementary question. I think that you have acknowledged that it is true that the Preventative Health Taskforce looked into the issues relating to the consumption of tobacco. You could confirm that. Also, given that plain tobacco packaging is an issue which has been called for by numerous organisations—including the Cancer Council of Australia, the National Heart Foundation of Australia and the Public Health Association of Australia, each of which made a submission to the National Preventative Health Taskforce—can the government confirm that the taskforce has recommended that Australia should adopt plain packaging laws for tobacco products?
