There would have been a fella with a full-time job going around stoking them. We can see that going around this city and looking at the number of chimneys on older buildings.

With regard to the fees, there is a question I want to ask about the cost of planting per hectare. There has been a ten or 11-fold increase in the cost to the farmer. What can be done about that? What I am being told is that by the time a person actually gets to plant, to go through the process, there is a ten or 11-fold jump in the administration costs and preparation and all of that. Can anything be done about that? That would appear to be a barrier.
