including this new method, are a critical element of that process, delivering abatement and sequestration that will help protect this country from dangerous climate change, which is the greatest risk that faces the communities that you purport to represent. They're securing and smoothing the emission reductions we need from our largest emitters and, at the same time, improving environmental conditions; improving farm outcomes; improving farm productivity; creating greater resilience to climate impacts; and supporting local economies, businesses, jobs, economic diversification and broader social wellbeing right across this country in a way that those communities celebrate. They will be telling you that too while you carry on with your pantomime here today—jobs across rural and regional Australia. That will be true of the INFM method as it adds to the stable of ACCU methods in one of the largest, highest integrity, most successful and most valuable carbon markets in the world that we celebrate and defend and will expand and that, for some unknown reason, you consistently oppose.
