What would be the approach of the government or the appropriate examining authorities in determining where the provision of one product ceases and the inception of another product starts? For instance, if someone were delivering cattle to a saleyard, at what point in time would there be the determinant that they are no longer under the pricing of cattle at the saleyard but they are under the pricing of a government charge for inspection fees? How do we differentiate between the conclusion of one product and the start of another? How do we stop that position then being manipulated in such a way that you do not have clarity in pricing where once more you have the sale of multiple products? What will be the process whereby government will identify that and say, ‘That is a unit of a product in its entirety and you must price it from that point of its service delivery to that other point’?
