Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, I asked whether you stood by your assurance that solar hot water and heat pumps would only account for five per cent of the RET. Is it not true that these energy efficiency technologies will take up roughly 50 per cent of the overall target and that in recent months they have created a large oversupply of RECs, resulting in the crash of the price for renewable energy certificates and putting hundreds of renewable energy jobs and millions of dollars in investment in jeopardy, and that this will not wait for COAG to produce a report?
