Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Once again I refer Senator Abetz to the letter, which says, 'While consistent with their pre-election commitment, the Tasmanian government's proposed subsidy of $33 million over three years to reinstate a direct international shipping service will not deliver the expected benefits.' Does the senator agree with that statement regarding the disbenefits of a direct international service?
