Senator Milne, you should listen to what I have said. I have said that there is a requirement for public reporting. They are public or they are not public. There is public reporting. As Senator Allison has indicated, most of the projects can get a payback period of three or four years. You are talking about a payback period of 10 years; it is likely to be a very inefficient project. We see that there is public reporting; we have indicated that several times. That is why we do not support the amendment.

Question negatived.
