I am saying that, rather than having yet another inquiry, we are in fact taking a whole range of actions across the household sector and the industry sector through regulatory approaches—for example, through building codes. Senator Brown may know that or he may not. He may be spending his time concentrating on policies to make drugs more available to young people. He spends a lot of time on processes to increase taxes on family homes. Now he is talking about increasing taxes on energy. We know that in the past he has promoted policies to make drugs more freely available to children and young people in Australia. Perhaps he should come to grips with climate change policy in Australia. We are changing building codes to ensure that buildings in the future are more energy efficient.
