The modelling that I was referring to was Garnaut’s minus 25. The modelling for MYEFO assumes minus five for the purposes of budgeting. Obviously, if Australia goes for a more significant reduction at 2020 then those parameters will change. Again I emphasise that the government will adjust household assistance to continue to meet the commitment we made that 120 per cent of low-income households’ overall costs will be met.
