I seek leave of the Senate to make a very short statement.

Leave granted.

In my summing up speech I referred to the cost recovery as a percentage of overall revenue—the $14 million cost to the industry as opposed to overall revenue of $18 billion. Unfortunately, the calculator was broken and I said 0.008 per cent. The figure was actually 0.078 per cent or 0.08 per cent rounded up to two decimal places. It is not a lot of money in the scheme of things, but the calculation was incorrect and I wanted to correct the record.
