That is the role the food ombudsman will take on. We will see whether primary producers are getting prices similar to what they get in other jurisdictions. That office will be of great help. In regard to the LEEF, as I mentioned earlier, there is a long list of organisations that would like to be on the LEEF. For example, from the union side, only ICTU is on it, and there might be many individual unions and NGOs to represent workers which would also like to be on the LEEF too. It would be a fundamentally different body if we had seven or eight members from business and eight different members from the union side. It is designed to be tight and to have the umbrella organisations on it.
