I seek to remind the parliamentary secretary that the question went to: what is the government doing with respect to the potential development of lignocellulosic ethanol in Australia? What has been done to meet its targets with respect to ethanol to date? Are there any potential problems emerging with the drought and what is now an international debate on food versus fuel? Has the government done any work on the potential impact of mandating fuel prices in Australia because of an almost monopoly producer in Australia?
