I just want to follow up on that. When you answered Senator Xenophon a moment ago, you said you had not modelled the proposition that he was making about a strategic reserve fund because it was not your policy. I asked you today in question time, and you didn't answer, and I will ask you again: have you modelled your own policy? Have you modelled this policy to determine whether it can achieve a five per cent emissions reduction? If so, who did the modelling? When was it done? And will you release it, given that RepuTex has said that you can only achieve 20 to 30 per cent of the five per cent with this policy, and Sinclair Knight has said you will not go anywhere near it? So there are two sets of modelling on your policy; have you actually done any?
