First, there are a number of aspects to the first part of that question which obviously we do not agree with in terms of the effect of a carbon price. I think we have had a previous discussion in this place, including with the senator, on the likely impact of a carbon price, which is not what she has previously asserted both publicly and in this place. I would also point out the unprecedented investment this government has put into both social housing and housing more broadly. I think the senator is referring to an initiative announced in the budget that the Assistant Treasurer has carriage of in terms of reporting arrangements, so I do not have information before me to assist her in more detail, but if she asks a further question I will see if I can provide anything; otherwise I will take the question on notice.
