I think it was yesterday. I reiterate that throughout these processes we are going to need very much for the community to have a clear understanding. I have some sympathy: 350 millilitres—how much is that? I haven’t got a clue! I am old enough to remember that a 40-pounder is a 40-ounce bottle; now it is in millilitres. The communities will need to have a very clear understanding of that. As the senator indicates, sometimes the alcohol could be the easiest side of that. It is a very complex area. But an education program will be rolled out. We are working with the Northern Territory government and seeking advice from the NT government. We are also working with the Eros Foundation, which is the industry foundation. They have been very supportive and very helpful. So I think with that partnership I have a high level of confidence that the education program will be very effective.
