I do have some general questions. I would like to know whether or not the federal government has asked Treasury or anybody else to have a look at this report to see if there is any basis for truth in it. It is clearly in the hands of the New South Wales state Labor government. Therefore, one would imagine it may be able to be shared, even on a confidential basis, with the federal government to let the Australian people know whether that IPART report can be relied upon.
