Senator Scullion, I did hear the question. I am aware of the fact that insulation does reduce energy consumption and, therefore, Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. In terms of production and so forth, the best way to reduce emissions from those sorts of industrial processes is if the coalition deal with their internal differences and support a market based mechanism such as the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme which will reduce Australia’s emissions in those covered sectors in the cheapest way possible.
