What I indicated was that the modelling released last year—that is, the Low Pollution Future modelling—had, as one of its assumptions, population growth to 33 million. I recall that subsequent numbers have been released, but these were the assumptions under which the modelling last year was undertaken.
Senator Milne, I have one correction to an answer I gave you that I thought I should put on the record. I made reference to section 29(7), which I said could allow certain units to come into Australia. It is actually phrased in the reverse—that is, it gives the discretion to prohibit. I thought I should clarify that.
