I would just like the minister—and I apologise for not being across the detail of the arrangement between the government and coalition—to explain to me about the offsets allowed for closed landfill under that arrangement. If what Senator Xenophon is proposing is not additional, why is it that the offsets under the government and coalition’s deal are? I may have completely misread that because I am not across the detail as much as I should be.
