The answer to the question is that we have been up front about the CPI impact—1.2 per cent over the first two years, as I have said before in this place. Increases in food prices are estimated to contribute about 0.1 percentage points of the 1.2 per cent increase. This has been outlined previously. I would also make the point that Prime Minister Howard was up front on this issue. (Time expired)
