Yes, but that is a very important chapter. In terms of energy, I mentioned earlier the doubling of the photovoltaic rebate. It was a very specific recommendation that the photovoltaic rebate be doubled. Whether that was a result of the wisdom of the environment committee being heeded by the government or other processes, obviously the views that were expressed by the committee clearly had a big influence on my thinking because I was part of that committee and I listened very carefully to my colleagues. But I think that, rather than try to pick off individual items, it is better simply to conclude by saying that there will be a whole-of-government response and it will be in good time. It is important that it be done thoroughly and comprehensively and, when it is completed, it will be published in the usual way.
