No, I have been listening for a long time, for the last hour, and I have lots of questions.
I thank the witnesses very much for coming in and I mean that genuinely. They have explained a lot of stuff that would not necessarily have been obvious to us. That is the first thing to say. A number of issues arise. I share Senator Humphreys's concern around management companies. Has the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement prosecuted somebody for misdemeanours of the type he has outlined, rather than prosecuting a company? In those prosecutions, somebody pays a bit of a fine. Good luck.
