I have a supplementary question, Mr President. I ask the minister when he is going to table that report that Minister Swan gave to the Korean meeting. Can he also tell us what the government’s definition of a fossil fuel subsidy is and whether it will include such clear subsidies as the fuel tax credits and fringe benefits tax concession for motor vehicles, or is it the government’s intention to define direct subsidies just as those that reduce the price of fossil fuel, such as those used in developing countries?
