We all agree with that and value the contribution that is being made. However, the other organisations I mentioned are in the same boat. What I am trying to figure out from the presentation today is whose responsibility it is to provide the service. Is it Samaritans and other organisations seeking sponsorship to help them cover the costs? Is it a corporate responsibility of the service provider? Is it the Government that should help to fund these things, or should it even come down to the public giving, perhaps, a quarter of a cent per call they make towards all of the organisations that need vital free telephone services? That is what I am trying to figure out today. I certainly applaud the work the Samaritans and other organisations are doing, but ultimately I wish to figure out how we can provide services into the future for all the organisations that will help to meet the requirements of the public.
