You cannot get a kind word out of Senator Hanson-Young. She is a hard one to please. It is hard work down in this corner, I can tell you! I put a green tie on to try to make them feel better and even that does not work. They are very cross and cantankerous benchers. In getting a proper association and a proper reflection of cost, in whatever form of cost-benefit analysis you did, did you do it in relation to your upfront costs of capital, as you have prescribed your $35.7 billion, or to a more encompassing figure that took into account other factors such as your cost of finance and your long-term leases? Which one did you use?
