I have heard that previously, and, in fairness to him, Mr. Moloney is sticking to the party line. The 20% has been left in limbo because, as he said, the independent collectors played to the market and the market changed; we all know that. We need to find a solution. What does Mr. Moloney think that solution is? Should the legislation be changed to strengthen IFFPG's hand to ensure it has more control over the market, or should there be a percentage share-out of the levy? I am trying to get to the nub of Mr. Moloney's opinion of the solution. The 80% figure is amazing, but we all know we are in a completely different space now. Unless we are sustainable, we are not going to be there.
