I wanted to add to an answer to a question from Senator Carr. He asked me about the demand modelling in Finkel. Jacobs Group, who did the modelling for Finkel, used the AEMO—that is the Electricity Market Operator—medium demand forecast, which does not see a change in areas like aluminium or steel. It was using those generic assumptions taken from another source. It did not provide its own assumptions.
