Thank you, Mr President. My question is to Senator Ludwig. Under the government’s proposed flood tax, people who have received the disaster recovery payment are exempted from paying the tax. What has been the increase in the number of applicants for the disaster recovery payment other than in the areas affected by Cyclone Yasi since the announcement of the flood tax?
