I would like to clarify, Senator Milne, that I am talking about coverage of energy use. I think the government have made a reasonable calculation in respect of that documentation. I do not have a table at this point in time to place before the chamber, but the government believe that we have made a sensible and balanced decision in relation to the proportion of industry that is being brought in under this process, and bearing in mind that this legislation was passed in this form last year. Effectively we are making some minor technical amendments which the Greens and the Democrats are trying to broaden through a different agenda, as was indicated in the debate earlier.
