Could I just get some confirmation from the government. As I understand it, initially it was planned that there be a tendering process for a private clearing house to deal with this—I think that is the assertion made by the opposition—and that it was due to start on 1 July 2009. I want to understand whether the premise of the coalition’s argument in respect of that is correct or not.
