I am not sure what the senator would like me to do. I gave him figures, I think, on Friday—it might have been Thursday—on Tasmania. My recollection is that we indicated that because of the particular energy profile in Tasmania we would anticipate a lower price impact. In fact, I think you are using the figures from the answer I gave you, Senator. However, the household assistance will still flow to Tasmanian families and Tasmanian households at the same rate.
