I want to put in a plea for small businesses because, when this legislation was being discussed and it was certainly in the public arena, small businesses accepted the fact that there was a need to take the preventative health measures. However, in this instance I would appreciate the Minister for Health and Ageing looking at a moratorium that would allow small businesses to have that leeway. The genuineness of their concerns have been expressed to me. Certainly, they support the preventative health measures that you have been inspired to put in place. On that basis, Minister, I will cover just that because I am conscious of your time and certainly would appreciate a moratorium.
