I thank the minister, but we should have that figure today. Goodness gracious! The government has that figure. If it has not, there is a degree of irresponsibility involved. When you bring forward legislation like this, surely you know what that figure is. The Senate ought to have that information; it ought to be part of this debate. The minister says he does not have it. He knows it is 1.2 per cent—1.2 per cent of what? It is quite extraordinary that he says that he cannot give that figure in dollar terms. I certainly hope he will give that figure to the Senate before the end of business today.
