The advice I have to Senator Xenophon is that the Australian Office of Financial Management advises that the two examples to which he refers are not directly held stakes but are held by those major banks, possibly through their wealth management business—I do not have the detail of that—as nominee for third party investors. The advice I have—and I am happy to see whether there is anything further I can add to this—is that the ownership structure of the two examples you have raised differ from the Aussie Home Loans example which you have identified. If I have further information on that, I will provide it.
