You have not actually answered the two core questions that I asked. I am not asking for the net fiscal impact, because that is what you usually circulate; I am asking you very specifically: how much do you expect to save from not having to pay the private health insurance rebate? For your reference, it was $959.7 million in the budget papers and under your revised version, version 2, it was $879.3 million. I want to know how much that is going to be now and what you expect your comparative loss in revenue to be.
