Deputy Speaker, through you to the Treasurer: a great many people in the community would have been concerned to see that the government and the opposition voted against my amendment. To remind you, Treasurer, it was a very straightforward amendment. It was simply that it be explicitly excluded that this funding arrangement provide any funding for fossil fuel, carbon capture and storage, or nuclear projects. Although the government did not support my amendment, are you able to, here and now, put into the record of the parliament a categorical statement that no funding will be available for any fossil fuel, carbon capture and storage, or nuclear project or proposal?
