Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Senator Wong is the responsible minister and all I am asking for is clarity on the issues for which she is responsible. It seems a pretty straightforward matter. May I further ask: what is the estimated annual cost to business of complying with the government’s bureaucratic ETS legislation and all of its associated regulations? Will it be in the vicinity of a million dollars? Is it likely to be in the vicinity of $10 million or perhaps $100 million, or has the minister been unable to compute the cost of that as well?
