Yes, I will. I would like to know why I should believe the Minister this time when I may have believed him the last time, although no progress seems to have been made. That is my first question.
Second, when the Minister says that the financial sector is now prepared to come in with an up-front kitty, or whatever, does that mean all the financial institutions? Can the Minister provide us with more substance on that proposal? Is the Government itself going to add to that kitty? The Minister said that a levy would require legislation.
We knew a levy would require legislation before the panel was established. Several aspects of the pyrite panel's report which were referred to in the opening statement have been disputed by others. The first one is the amber category which involves a significant number of households-----
