Minister, you heard me asking about consultation in my second reading debate contribution. There was a roundtable held by Treasury in 2018. They invited the big banks along. They invited the big players along. That's not in question; I'm not seeking an answer on that. I just want to understand why the government hasn't engaged some of the co-ops and mutuals in relation to this. What was the logic behind doing that—only sticking with the big banks?
