I perhaps should point out that the decisions of the independent regulator in regard to this particular exporter have occurred after a review of the conduct of that particular regulator. I can't comment on the specific details of that review. Again, as the decisions the independent regulator may take in the future, I will have to take that on notice because that is a matter for the regulator. As I indicated to the Senate, we very much respect the independence of that regulator to ensure we have a sustainable live export industry in this country.
