Minister, I have not asked you the question before as to who is going to get the $5.5 billion in transitional assistance. I have asked you before whether Macquarie Generation is getting any and you were not prepared to say no. Reading between the lines, what you were saying was, 'No, they are not getting any.' Verve Energy is not getting any. The question is: who is getting the $5.5 billion worth of transitional assistance under your carbon tax package? Is any electricity generator outside the state of Victoria going to get any assistance under the $5.5 billion transitional assistance package?
