The senator quite rightly indicates that this is a joint territory and Commonwealth program and that there are contributions from both governments. I have information available on the contribution that we will be making to the project in the Northern Territory, which is in the order of $1.7 billion. As to the Northern Territory’s contribution in financial terms, I do not have that information in front of me. I am happy to take it on notice and get back to Senator Scullion as soon as I can with the answer to that part of the question.
