Perhaps I can assist in this way: I think what you are asking about is not the amendments before the chair but the government’s original decisions around the design and quantum of the Electricity Sector Adjustment Scheme. At the time of the white paper the government made announcements about its view about the appropriate quantum of the Electricity Sector Adjustment Scheme. I am just asking my officials to go back to that, because my recollection is that there were three different modelling exercises undertaken by private sector companies which informed the government decisions in relation to the Electricity Sector Adjustment Scheme.
