A question has arisen a number of times in various forms this morning, but I have not heard a response to it from the government. What in its view or in the estimation of the Australian Greenhouse Office—which the government established a decade ago and which looked at this extensively—is the potential for energy efficiency savings in Australia in the purview of this amendment, which is 10 years, and, in Senator Allison’s view, three years or five years? Can the government inform the chamber of the assessment to date of the energy efficiency potential in Australia as a whole and from the various sectors?
