I have a number of questions - some for Ms Twomey and others for Mr. McPartlan. Senator Noone is absolutely right. The fact that people complain is not central to her argument.

Ms Twomey said that only 9% of complaints in the past five years relate to food advertising. Following on from what Senator Noone said, is that because of the ignorance regarding food, sugar, etc.? Ms Twomey referred to only 7,000 adjudications in respect of 30,000 complaints. Without naming a brand, company or product, will Ms Twomey give an example of the type of complaint involved?

Mr. McPartlan represents many companies that probably make a good few bob. Does his company or any of the others contribute to research in childhood obesity or help organisation that try to deal with this, such as charities? That would make sense.
