You may not be able to answer this because it actually came from the press release of the Greens. It was really clear in the Greens' press release that the agreement reached between the Greens and the government was that, when somebody purchased vaping products through a pharmacy under this particular mechanism, their details, including their name, would not be recorded. I accept that you've taken my question on notice. Right now, under Queensland law, as an example, a pharmacist must attach a label to a schedule 3 medication—a label that includes the details of the person that is purchasing it—and the pharmacist is required to keep that information for two years. I'm interested to understand the inconsistency between the announcement that personal details would not need to be recorded and the fact that, under Queensland law, they are required to be recorded.
