Minister, you might explain—I think this is what you said—the excise and other taxation arrangements. Firstly, in relation to the excise, could you explain to the Senate how that is going to work given that—as the minister would of course know—current arrangements for farmers are that they pay but that they get a rebate for the excise anyway. If the arrangements are around the excise provision, how will there be a benefit for farmers in that and how will that operate?
