Senator Carr, I do not know that I am refusing to provide you with information. You are asking me for a methodology of calculation. The Treasury obviously has a methodology of working it out but, as I have said to you previously, it has been a longstanding practice of government not to provide a breakdown of costings. I think that I have covered that matter previously.
