I just want to pick up on some of the questions Senator McAllister has asked. Minister, you've said that you do not know what the cost to taxpayers will be of agreeing to the crossbench amendments. Are we talking millions of dollars, billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars? Do you have any idea how much you're about to sign taxpayers up to as part of your deal with the crossbench?

The CHAIR: Senator Watt, you need to be speaking from your spot.
