Is it expected that officials in the Department of Justice will just google to try to find out if there have been prosecutions? It strikes me that much more could be done by the WRC in this instance. I and Senator Gavan, who is also on this call, have used the services of the WRC as former union officials and I appreciate that it is stretched. It does not strike me as best practice, however, to not notify the Department of Justice of breaches of a scheme it administers and for the WRC to expect that, somehow, the officials in that Department will just pick up this information in the ether. I will put it that way, but I probably mean something a bit stronger than it not being best practice. Of those 20 prosecutions, are we talking about 20 separate employers or are there repeat offenders within that number?
