I would like to highlight to you that my question is actually new. This is not something that has been discussed at all since we started this last night. Let me put it to you a different way. Why did the government bring in a mandatory code when you had been working on a voluntary code? Was it that you realised a voluntary code was not going to work? If you could answer those questions I would appreciate it. Then I can ask you more questions about why you chose $1 billion for a mandatory code.
