The parliamentary secretary has now had a few minutes to presumably get some advice from his advisers on the table that I tabled. Could he look at that table. I asked him about the situation for biodiesel for on-road use, which is in the third and fourth columns of the table, and described the reducing Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme rebate. The minister confirmed that the rebate reduces to zero by 2010 and by the amounts I quoted, but he disputed the final price in those years for biodiesel on road. Minister, can you indicate whether that is correct, having seen this, and indicate where we have gone wrong in calculating those figures?
