Thank you. I was going to say that there isn't a subject or topic that the Greens can't somehow link to political donations in this country, despite not being able to provide any evidence at all, other than trying to besmirch political opponents. So, let's just see this for what it is. If I take the issue of financial services seriously, looking at gender pay gaps in financial services, there are some in financial services that have managed to have a neutral gender pay gap. There are others that have a large gender pay gap. The issue around this data is that by publishing it we've been able to identify that, and hopefully those companies where there are large gender pay gaps in favour of men will take the steps that they need to take to close that gender pay gap and to close it faster than has been occurring in previous years.
