I appreciate the minister doing that. As members of this House would have heard, the minister said—and although I have a pretty good memory I am paraphrasing the minister here—that he is not aware of what every single company is doing with respect to employee share ownership plans. Of course he is not; I would not expect him to be aware of what every single company is doing. My question was whether any company had reinstated their share plan. I ask him again, not whether he is aware of the activities of every single company but whether he is aware of a single company in Australia that has reinstated their share plan, even in the period between his first set of changes and his more detailed set of changes on the day prior to him being promoted to his new portfolio.
