So they have some very real interest in obtaining an answer to this question and I would be interested to see if the federal government has even bothered to start making inquiries to ascertain whether or not there is any basis to this report, which has clearly been deliberately leaked by the state Labor government because they are starting to panic about the consequences of this scheme. Interesting, isn’t it? Who had a state government report about the cost to power stations? We cannot actually see the report, but the details have found their way into the media. It would not have been the Victorian state government, would it, by any chance—another Labor state government?
