Yes, I see that. The difficulty is, and the hope would have been, that a beef task force might have taken on that job because it is simply impossible for a farmer or group of farmers to prove what is apparent to many. Having read the Grant Thornton reports and the CCPC responses of last year that will probably be reiterated to Mr. Dowling, has anybody given him an easy to understand explanation as to how the beef prices across all factories appear so in tune with each other, regardless of the direction they move in? They go up together and go down together with almost minimal variations. What explanation does Mr. Dowling think there is for that?
