Thank you very much, Deputy Speaker. To the member's question, what the government have always said about carbon pricing is we worked with the Treasury to model the effects, particularly the effects for households. We modelled those effects and said that, on average, the additional cost for households would be $3.30 per week. As the member well knows, the jury is effectively in on that, because the regulators around the nation, including in New South Wales, have spoken and said either that the increase is exactly what the government said it would be or it would be less.
