Obviously businesses that are making larger donations are likely to be larger organisations that have the capacity to comply with annual return and other requirements, whereas if you are a small volunteer not-for-profit or if you are a smaller organisation that doesn't have the same resources to deal with all the additional reporting requirements that would come with getting captured by this then that would make it disproportionate. That is certainly the feedback we've had from not-for-profits. In the end, nobody's arguing against the need for disclosure. It's just about making sure we capture disclosure in reporting requirements with organisations of an appropriate size and with donations of an appropriate size.
