Okay. I will move on to the increased costs claims. I have some sympathy for the NPHDB in this area. It is well known that contractors often tender for something and they make their profit through the process of increased costs claims and wearing people down along the way. By and large, the NPHDB has fought many of those claims, with some success. I am fearful that we might be rushing to buy out the options within those contracts. Is the board seeking to buy out options where increased costs claims might apply?
