I thank you for that contribution, Senator Abetz. You took us just past 24 hours—so I am advised. In relation to household assistance, that is scaled to the carbon price, and the document I tabled is scaled to the carbon price that was assumed as a result of the MYEFO change. In relation to Mr Hitchens’s calculations of a carbon price, you will have to ask him. I have no knowledge of what assumptions he utilised.
