So there are between 100 and 200 publishers that could be eligible, fall within the criteria. I guess what I'm getting at is, if this legislation passes and the government is not intending at this stage to use the power of designation, we need to make sure that this list of publishers actually understand (a) what they need to do and (b) that, if they're not getting anywhere, someone in Treasury's office, someone in the communications minister's office or somebody in the ACCC is actually looking out for them and helping them step through the process, so that they don't get left out in the cold.
