Alan, you sort of see this one.
You see the PwC tax leak scandal a few years ago.
There's all sorts of calls for reform, and again, nothing happens.

They're unusual sort of organizations and, you know, they're sort of big enough to be companies but they're not companies.
And I think there is some of the partnership structures are quite arcane.
You unpick one thing, you've got to fix another bunch of things.
So it seems to get chucked in the too hard basket, unfortunately.
Well, I guess we have super would be the answer, Alan, which is not tax-free but fairly tax-advantageous system of retirement savings.

I guess what I hear a lot of as you go around the world, we obviously get to talk to lots of visiting people, you know, often countries have come up with ideas that try to replicate or mimic super.

But I take Karen's point.
