Thank you for the answer, Senator Conroy. It is a very important issue for many Australian families and small businesses that do not want these calls. Mr President, I do, however, ask a supplementary question. I understand that ACMA has reported a 60 per cent reduction in complaints against unsolicited and unwanted marketing calls since the introduction of the Do Not Call Register. Given that you are doing a review, is it Labor policy that numbers should drop off the register automatically? Is it something you are seriously reviewing? People do not want to have to renew their numbers on the Do Not Call Register.
