I accept the point. I still believe that some general guidance on things like price gouging would be useful in the marketplace because people's behaviour is enforced not just by being arraigned before court on grounds of offences but if they know what is socially acceptable and if others around them can see unacceptable behaviour, that acts as a check and the commission could provide some good leadership by articulating some general views at an early date. I take the point and I am not going to push it further.
