Thank you, Minister. I refer to the speech tabled by Senator Johnston, the Minister for Justice and Customs, in which he stated:

The Government has decided to give growers until 1 March 2008 to establish a new entity to manage the single desk. This entity may be either a completely new, grower owned and operated body, or a completely de-merged AWB (International) Ltd (AWBI).

In the second reading speech a completely demerged AWBI is allowed to be the designated entity; is that correct?
