My question is to the Minister for the Environment. Will the government be providing any additional money to the Emissions Reduction Fund and, if so, when?

Thank you for the question. As people will know, that is an excellent policy of ours that was started with over $2 billion. We're down to $250 million. Of course, as you would expect, our responsible government is looking at its full suite of policies, which will include the ERF. That's not a matter for me to talk about today; it's a matter for cabinet.
