I will certainly come back to the Senator with that clarity. The reply today is similar to the reply I gave here a number of weeks ago when I addressed the matter first with some of the Senator's colleagues. I committed then and commit again to the Department finding a solution to this as it is the right thing to do. This situation leaves people very vulnerable. They cannot afford to fix the problem and the solution is often outside their boundary whereas the problem is being caused on their properties. It can cause difficulties for neighbours. In some cases, it is something that was always fixed or addressed over a period of 30 or 40 years. We will find a solution. Regardless of differing versions over the last year or two, there is a commitment to resolving the issue.
