If the Press Council has a variation in its standard and the Independent Media Council covers the same thing but with different thresholds, are you saying you might take one version of those standards and insert them in all the other codes, or do you have confidence in how those councils are currently conducting themselves? You said it's not your intention to override them, but I don't understand why you need to take a code of practice from one professional council and put it into another.
