Thank you, Mr President. We have been very up-front with the Australian people about our plans. We have just gone to an election where those plans were put in front of the Australian people. I know these particular policies are very well supported in the regional communities that I represent, and we have every intention of making sure we meet those commitments. We have had a look and investigated the costs and benefits, and we have made a decision for the benefits of the broader Australian people, as we are here to do.
