I certainly will comment. I do not disagree with what the Senator is trying to do, and that is the reason we have the review, but I am not sure if the type of information the Senator wants would enable the charities to continue in their current format. The charities will make annual financial returns that will give an indication of the level of funding going to the charitable cause versus that going towards administration costs and so on but they will not have people standing on a street with a box saying 88% or 92% goes to the charity, if that is what the Senator is trying to achieve. For those who are interested in whatever the charity might be, that type of information will emerge over time because those reports will be published. If we want to develop it from there, the opportunity exists to do that but we will be collecting that type of data.
