So, Senator Cameron, Mr Kelly's views are very welcome in this debate. Now, you raised two particular matters. What I can tell you, Senator Cameron, is that the Finkel report was published when the government received it. So it is a public document. The Finkel report contains a great deal of analysis and charts of tables and various other expositions of that analysis, which the minister, Mr Frydenberg, took our party room through yesterday morning, and that included the issue of the baseline. Of course the baseline is an important issue; we are aware of that. Senator Cameron, there was discussion about all of these issues. There was a briefing by Mr Frydenberg about all of these issues and there were contributions about a variety of issues, including that one, because, as I said to your acting leader, that is the way we do policy. We have a free and open discussion. (Time expired)
