Senator Norris has addressed the issue, probably more succinctly than I could. As I have stated, we have held a significant amount of discussions on this across the public sector, lobbying organisations and NGOs and they do not want to be overburdened in this regard. If every approach they made had to be costed and the cost was aggregated for every voluntary organisation, they would collapse under the weight of it all.
