I am correct, so we are back again to the same nucleus of people, including a CEO and all the milk suppliers that put that pot together. We are shafting our own, even with the same nucleus of people. I cannot understand it. One has to be a betting person to be involved in this. It is like "The Gambler"; you win some and lose some. This set-up is unprecedented. In any contract, there should be an option for people who did a deal with the co-operatives to show a spirit suitable for the current situation and the war. By mutual consent, both parties of a contract could change it. It would be a similar scenario to me renting land for a five or six-year period and approaching someone on a lease and telling them that I was not able to fulfil my end only for that person to say that was sound and there would be no repercussions. This is what needs to be done.
