Well, Senator Patrick is making a very important point here, and I can guarantee that the Australian people, whether they go to pubs or drink at home—or whether they don't drink at all—would agree with it. There is no reason that big, wealthy benefactors of your party should be given exemptions from disclosing their financial affairs. I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

So could you give us a guarantee today that you will respond to that recommendation, and that you will put in place a process for removing the grandfathering exemptions, including bringing legislation before this place?
