I am trying to drill down here. Because your modelling has met budgetary forecasts, it comes to a cost. You do not have a range of budgetary forecasts; you have a specific number and a specific outcome. So I am asking a specific question: does that modelling include the United States being in or out? Does it include China being in or out? With all due respect, New Zealand is not going to have a major effect on global commodity prices for Australia. So let us take the two big ones. Is China in your modelling forecast or out, and is America in or out?
