I will start again. I would make this point: there is a great deal of reporting already in the budget papers and in the monthly financial statements which the finance minister issues. The AOFM has a website—which is updated, from memory, weekly—which shows the debt on issue, including the Treasury bonds, indexed bonds, notes, other securities, and those aspects which are subject to the CIS Act, and also has recent tender results. So—leaving aside the climate reporting, and I want to come to that—I am struggling, Minister, to see what additional reporting, other than a statement to the parliament, the Greens have actually got for this deal.
