Yes, we are in favour, and have recommended to our parliamentary review committee, that the fining be increased in the public sector, and also in the private sector acts, to have more of a deterrent effect. We are not seeing cases so much in the private sector, but are in the public sector. Information there is being accessed inappropriately, and individuals, even though they are aware of their obligations not to access that information, are still doing so. We believe that we need greater deterrence in the form of larger fines.
