There were a few questions before the break. Could I clarify with the minister: in terms of the letter outlining the deal with the Australian Greens on this policy area—he described my asking him about costs as a 'trick question'; I do not know if it is a trick question to ask the finance minister how much something will cost—can he give us any further information on that? And, more particularly, who is responsible for conducting the review that is referred to in the penultimate paragraph, and who is in charge of designing the register and the process, as described, 'for developing an implementation approach'?
