My question is to the Treasurer. Treasurer, it seems impossible to divine what the cost of the Capacity Investment Scheme is in the forwards. The Capacity Investment Scheme underwrites the swindle factories, and I think the Australian people have a right to know what it is, so can we get within $5 billion? Is it less than a billion dollars? Is it between $1 billion and $5 billion? Is it between $5 billion and $10 billion? Is it more than $10 billion? Is it part of the $18.2 billion? Just spitball us a number. Give us some idea how much this is going to cost us.
