I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I am advised by Synergy that it is unable to provide the requested data in the time frame specified. Synergy has commenced data extraction in relation to this request and will provide the relevant information when it becomes available. Hon Kate Doust : It’s a bit like its billing system. It can’t find anything or — Hon PETER COLLIER : No. I am actually trying to do the member a favour. I could tell her to put the question on notice, but I am not going to. What I was going to say was that if the member asked a straight question such as, “How many has Synergy got signed up for the feed-in tariff?” it would not be an issue, but to ask Synergy to provide the information by postcode in a couple of hours makes it very difficult. What I have said—I will just repeat what I have just said—is that as soon as the information is available, I will give it to the member, and I will expedite it as much as I possibly can.
