This is my final question, and I thank Mr. Shine for his time. In Schedule 2, the final co-operative principle listed is concern for community. The relevant head states: "Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies approved by their members." I am really interested in that because I see major potential there. I wonder whether all co-ops are taking heed of that particular principle. Could Mr. Shine comment on that and outline how the Department views it?
