Senator NASH (8:08 PM) —Minister, thank you for that and, given that farmers live in houses, I am sure that will be very useful for them also. In essence, I did not ask you about the farmers’ household prices. I asked you what work the government had done on the impact of the electricity increases on the farming businesses themselves, not the farmers living in their houses. They have a pretty good idea of how much that is going to go up. I am keen to understand what the government has done in determining the impact of electricity prices on the farming businesses, not the households.
