Mr President, I have a further question. In May this year the Future Fund dumped its holdings in several companies involved in the manufacture of cluster munitions. At that time a spokesperson for the fund said that they would monitor the portfolio and assess whether further exclusions became necessary or whether current exclusions could be removed. Can the minister advise whether the fund could consider a similar process for divesting itself of tobacco stocks?
