Thank you for the indication that those Treasury officials might be here to answer that. I would say that is a very significant component not only for farmers but across the primary industry sector. It is one that would probably be top of mind for most of our agricultural producers. If the Treasury officials are not able to attend themselves, perhaps some of the other officials might be able to get that information for us in a reasonable time frame. Minister, as part of that answer you also mentioned other taxation measures, apart from the excise, that would apply to the arrangements surrounding fuel. Perhaps you could indicate what they were as well.
