I am being civil. Senator, the details of that review have not been finalised or formalised. It is some three years hence. The government is simply saying that we are giving transitional assistance to those sectors because we do understand there is the need to adjust over time and that we would review at the three-year time frame the adjustment mechanism at that point. I am not sure I can really add to that. If you are asking me whether we have set up a committee and determined how it would occur, no, that is not the case. It is obviously a decision government would need to make down the track.
