In some sense this goes to secrecy, which, as you know, I don't like very much. If you're not listing the drugs now, why is that the case? Why won't you at least let people see which drugs are going to be affected? That, in my view, is consistent with the general principle of setting up an arrangement that does give companies surety and, indeed, allows the users of the PBS to see what will and won't be affected.
