As I indicated, I am advised that there is no difficulty with publishing the figures and providing them to where they can be found, or alternatively to your office. There is no secret there. As soon as they are available, they can be distributed. Can I say that I do not quite share your pessimism in this area. I think the opportunity is here for a long-term average sustainable diversion limit adjustment within this bill to provide an opportunity and continue to provide agricultural outcomes. I am speaking as agriculture minister.
