The multiples are getting away with murder with their drink prices. I have a special criticism of Lidl and Aldi, which are bringing over some very high-alcohol drink from eastern Europe. It is difficult to measure that damage but in time the health sector will be impacted by some of the beers in particular which have 5% or 6% alcohol. The private health care sector has been impacted. Approximately 50% of people had been participating in private health care. Senator Darragh O'Brien is normally fair, but his figures are wrong.
