He would do well to listen to the rural communities and take note of their heartfelt feelings at the way they are being cheated by this government’s process. I draw the attention of senators to a letter from Sam Paton and Associates to the Treasurer on this issue. The letter gives a very fair analysis of the situation, including the disproportionate amount of funds going to the corporations who put out the prospectuses for these management plans as against those to the investors. The situation does need an independent assessment. It is crying out for an independent assessment. (Time expired).
