I understand your concern, but as you would appreciate and you have acknowledged, we are moving into areas of more detail with respect to Infrastructure Australia and I just do not have the advisers here. I take your point. I am perhaps not quite as pessimistic as you are about Tasmania but I do understand your perspective. Nevertheless, I agree that it is an important issue for debate and you have given us fair notice. There will be other opportunities beyond this package—which hopefully will pass—to discuss those matters.
