I will be a little bit more general then. Some investor representatives have been questioning the salaries of executives of the major banks for some time. At last year's Commonwealth Bank AGM these investors made an unprecedented first strike when they voted against the executive remuneration report. Minister, do you accept that, if executive salaries at the CommBank or other banks don't even meet their shareholders' expectations, then they certainly don't meet community expectations?
