I will take the interjection from Senator Fierravanti-Wells. I will remind her that the people who were prepared to sit with the Greens on the migration legislation were those opposite. So she can have a go about the Greens voting with us on this, but they were voting with Bob Brown on the migration legislation.
We have been very clear about the policy reasons for this. We think this is about reducing the risk for the next generations of Australians and we also believe that investment in clean energy is good for the Australian economy.
