As a separate measure entirely, if you would like to answer that at the same time as the Treasury officials give that information, that would be highly appropriate. Given the fact that this is going to be one of the biggest issues, I would have thought that information might have been readily available. Minister, I think you indicated there would be three years for the offset in the fuel cost. Does the Senate take from that that after that three-year period there will be no further assistance in the provision of offsetting that fuel cost for agriculture?
