I was just about to point out, when referring to Minister Emerson, that his critique of the Blacktown amendment was, I believe, correct. I have pointed out that there is a distinct difference between pricing that government tries to impose, as you and Senator Joyce were attempting to do through the Blacktown amendment, across a 35-kilometre radius and national uniform pricing.

How would you enforce compliance, given your particular approach? You would have to actually draw maps and have circles with 35-kilometre radiuses and attempt to then enforce it. I think there would be a significant practical enforcement issue there. When you have got a company such as Coles that applies uniform national pricing, I would argue that that is pretty easy to enforce. (Time expired)
