I am sorry—I am really not clear, Senator Milne, about the question you are asking. Can I also say I do not have my international negotiators here to advise me in relation to your question about what Australia is pushing for at X negotiations. I do not have those officials here, but I think the position is as I articulated—about Australia, amongst a number of other countries, suggesting that the current accounting rules do include both natural disturbance and active, human disturbance, and that does not necessarily lead to the best outcomes.
