I can tell you what we will rule out. We will rule out spending $600 billion on nuclear energy plants that are going to get established in, what, 20 to 30 years and deliver four per cent of Australia's energy requirements. I will definitely rule out that additional spending. That is quite a bit of additional spending, and one might think that $600 billion may have an effect on the government budget, maybe on the spending side.
