I do not have that information. That would be something the companies would be aware of. It may be that some of them have reported under NGERS, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme.
In relation to the food processing sector, $150 million of assistance was established as a result of the negotiations with the opposition. I have tabled the offer document, and the detail of it is on pages 4 and 5. I can read it out or you can get a tabled copy. One hundred copies were also provided to your party room last week to enable you to consider the offer from the government before you endorsed it—before you then walked away from it after your change of leader. I am not sure that there is anything else in that contribution that was asked of me that has not been asked and answered on at least one occasion or many more occasions, so I invite the chamber to consider voting on the amendments.
