No, I did not say that. I want to shorten their training. I do not see why one can become a fully trained specialist in Australia in six years and yet it takes, on average, 12 years here. That is not acceptable and is not fair on people. It strikes me that we have many people who are very experienced at a lower grade doing an awful lot of the work when they should already be in that specialist grade and out there as specialists. That is what I want to see.
