Thank you. As I said, 21 projects have been subject to compliance actions. Nine infringement notices have been paid already. Three directed variations have been issued.

I just want to reassure the member—who I think is raising very valid concerns about offsets—that now that I've established that register, that we've set up the compliance unit and that we've taken compliance action I believe that means we don't need to change the law here. We need to, as she said herself, make sure that we're putting the law into practice.

Question negatived.
