On the issue of signage, I was a little concerned about it. There are pluses and minuses to it. In one way it can send a signal. There are the maps. I refer to it creating an element of deniability. For GPs the idea of having to acquire signage outside what are, in some cases, their homes as well as their practices, may become an onerous thing. I can see a role for them in hospitals and clinics but was the concern related to the same principle mentioned in relation to the register? I agree with Senator Clifford Lee that the overall issue is ensuring that we have more provision, as well as protecting access to the provision that exists already. Will the witness add a little more clarity on that? I can see the concerns around the register. Unfortunately, currently the opt-in list is often used inappropriately for targeting. Was that the concern with signage as well?
