It would be very interesting, Minister, I am sure, to have a look at what freebies you might be provided with as a member of parliament. But that is really not the issue here. The issue here is the policy that is set out in the legislation and whether the government thinks it is appropriate that there should be a legislative direction that an association of this kind that is given this particular role under the proposed amended act should be one which is independent.

Question negatived.
