I can appreciate that. Staying with the animal cruelty element of things, I know the Department was involved with the Department of Rural and Community Development in terms of the control of dangerous dogs. It is something I have raised with the Department of agriculture before. I know the stakeholder engagement group has been established, which is wonderful. Speaking of the licence or agreement or whatever that operators might have with the Department, regardless of what type of animal we are talking about, I presume when the Secretary General is talking about a root and branch review of the Department's processes and procedures in dealing with any concern or complaint, this is going to apply across the board. Would that be correct?
