Thank you for the question, Senator Pocock. I'm advised that the issues that you are raising interact in complicated ways with the health portfolio because, of course, the ACCC is a Treasury agency. The public sector advisers who are here to provide advice today in the Senate are drawn from the health department. However, I think Minister Gallagher would be happy to have a further discussion with you about this, but we would need some time to obtain the necessary advice.
