Yes, I think we would all agree with that. Second and lastly, I wish to ask about the audits under the quality assurance scheme. Mr. Murrin will remember and know that during Covid, the audits were remote and done online. I have the pleasure of doing my dad’s when it comes around, which is always fun. When it went remote that time, I found it very good. Obviously it was done because of Covid and I understand that. Was that looked at or reviewed afterwards to see whether rolling it out going forward is an option? I note Mr. Murrin spoke much in his opening statement about technologies, digital and all of that. I understand that nothing compares with having someone with their feet on the ground in the farm. I am interested to know whether it was looked at after the remote audits were carried out.
