Thank you. Actually, it is interesting, because all the government has said is that the government made a decision that it would not go beyond 25 per cent. I am asking: when did the government make that decision? I would really like to know when that was the case. I would also like to know, if you did not model beyond 25, on what basis you made the decision to not model beyond 25. In the absence of any information, why was 25 it? Was it because you were not looking at the impact on GNP out to 2050 and so on but rather, from what you were saying before, the sectoral impact of various carbon prices, and that you made a political decision about what some of those sectors could bear as far as what the Labor Party could bear in terms of the politics? I really would like to know when. The rest of the world deserves to know why Australia would not model the Bali road map range. I want to know when that decision was made and why it was made.
