Would the Department seek submissions from the industry, the SCSI and the lady who was here earlier and made a very comprehensive submission? From the point of view of the levy working, is it not worthwhile to reach out to those who have come to this meeting who are central to this issue and to the collecting of the 5% or whatever it might be? Would it not be worthwhile for Department officials to now engage with them to understand why there was such a kickback by the industry, the general public, etc. and why the 10% rate was reduced to 5% and so on?
