I am not sure that I could give you a breakdown of which parts of the money were subject to legislation as opposed to delegated legislation—I think that was, essentially, the question? For example, in the explanatory memorandum which was provided in relation to the primary legislation, the government, in fact, put out the fiscal balance table, which indicated how much revenue was being allocated to different aspects of the Australian community: how much was being allocated to emissions-intensive trade-exposed, how much was being allocated to households and how much was being allocated to the Climate Change Action Fund. As I said, there is, in fact a household assistance bill, which is one of the bills currently before the Senate.
