I thank senators for indicating their position. Can the minister indicate the time frame in relation to this issue? She may be repeating herself, and I apologise for that. It may not be necessary for me to move the next amendment. Can she indicate what the time frame will be to deal with these issues? Finally, I did make reference to the work of Dr Hugh Saddler and the communication my office has had with him about the whole issue of modelling. Can she respond to that or at least take that on notice, because I think what Dr Saddler is saying about modelling ought to be used to ensure that we have a scheme that is robust. Taking into account climatic variations is important in the context of this particular part of the scheme.
