As I understand from answers to some question Senator Canavan asked last night, the government was unable to say what the size of the buffer was under the hard cap. If we're not going to get clarity on that, how can we reach the conclusion that you've just outlined that we're not going to require—chances are—alternative measures like this? It just doesn't seem to add up in my mind with, 'We can't tell what the buffer is, but we're certain, or fairly certain, we're not going to have to go down this path.'
