In the period while the minister seeks that information, which I think is quite important for Australia to understand, how we stand in this internationally competitive, globally competitive, market when it comes to carbon: Are we pricing ourselves out of the market? Are we making it more expensive for business to operate here because we've set a price higher than others? I thought the minister might be able to tell us that pretty straightforward information, when it comes to our trading partners.

Now that you've had a bit of time, you might be able to give me a dollar figure or a couple of examples. I was impressed with your clarity and straightforward ability to answer Senator Waters' questions. Perhaps we might have the same here.
