On that, I understand cabinet-in-confidence. We have sought the information. Even offering a private briefing on the way through might have been handy. But it's been put to me that the information used to underpin the modelling was corporate data rather than being reported by facility. I would appreciate it if you could confirm otherwise, but to my mind that might skew the data that underpins the modelling. It's hard to pursue this properly, because we are operating without access to the information. You've explained why, and I'm not going to ask you to table it or go into detail on it. But if an assurance can't be provided that that information, as I've just characterised it, wouldn't result in a skewed outcome—that is, that it is facility as opposed to corporate, which is what I'm told would be a better arrangement—then I think we have some concerns. So I just wonder if you can provide that assurance that the information provided—the financial data—was by facility. I don't want to know what it said or have it tabled; I just want to know that it was by facility, as opposed to a corporate-level piece of information.
