I had actually just started to address the issue of wind farms when you took your point of order, Senator. As I was saying, the Commonwealth government does not approve wind farm projects because that is a matter for state governments. But the government does take community concerns seriously and is committed to looking at whether wind farm noise impacts human health. To that effect, the National Health and Medical Research Council has released an information paper entitled 'Evidence on wind farms and human health'.
