Senator XENOPHON (South Australia) (11:32): I ask the minister, in terms of the matters touched on by Senator Birmingham about the commercial concerns, whether there will be difficulty in financing if you are locked into this. I am not sure where the 100 years comes from. Maybe the proponent of the 100 years was a fan of Gabriel Garcia Marquez who wrote One Hundred Years of Solitude. I am not sure where that comes from.
Senator Milne interjecting—
Senator XENOPHON: It is a good book, Senator Milne.
Senator Milne: You are showing off!
Senator XENOPHON: No, I am not showing off, it is a good book! The concern is this: did the government look at issues of commercial uncertainty by having such a period locked in? Has it received representations—presumably it has—in relation to this? It was reflected in the Senate inquiry about the impact that it could have on financing in some cases by virtue of the 100-year provision.
