Thank you. The Parliamentary Library has provided a disaggregation of the Treasury estimates of resource rents, and I seek leave to table it.

Leave granted.

I refer to the row of numbers which shows a calculated series for allowance of corporate capital. In 2008-09, the library calculates there must be a negative allowance for corporate capital—a negative $6½ billion. I wonder if the minister could explain how an allowance for corporate capital can, in fact, be negative under this assumption.
