Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note that the minister does not have the data and nor did she promise to provide it. Given that the data on photovoltaic rebates used to be on the public record and was published regularly on the website of the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, can the minister explain why this information is no longer publicly available? Has the government decided to keep this information secret to avoid further embarrassment because of the introduction of the means test? Has the department been told not to make this information available? If so, who made the decision for secrecy and if the decision has not been made to make it a secret, when will it go up on the department’s website?
