Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The green paper spoke of permits being assessed based on emissions per dollar of revenue. The minister would be aware that the Australian Bureau of Statistics in their submission to the green paper said:

… value added is considered a superior measure to revenue for an emissions intensity measure (albeit more difficult to measure) and should be used.

Will the government actually be following this advice from the Australian Bureau of Statistics?
