Kind of. I still have issues with the prediction of the temperature and it not happening or, as I said, it becoming hotter. Nine hours in continental Europe will bring drivers a long way and they will pass through different conditions. Look at what we get here every day. A driver could pass through many different weathers and temperatures in nine hours of solid driving on the Continent. I do not know how the Department is going to get the meteorological predictions of interstate and different regions. I am not arguing the fact we need to get the best solution here. However, when we pre-empt anything with predictive measures, to me, it is not science and it is not bullet-proof. There has to be a better way than going by the forecast.

That went on longer than I thought, Chair. Finally, I want to go back to Ms Meaney's very first opening point. What scientific evidence is there for calves being fed milk replacer, as the Chairman explained at the start?
