Benchmarking: Motion.
I was entertained by Senator Ross's view. In the middle of the 1990s, I began to send press releases to various newspapers by e-mail, to be told by all of the newspapers that e-mails could not be accepted because they did not have an agreement on the use of new technology. I am tired of the idea that there is a thrusting private sector using all the weapons of modern technology when, in terms of the developments such as the Internet, the private sector had to be dragged reluctantly into the use of what many people in the public sector had been using as the normal method of communication without any negotiation about extra payment.
