Thank you, Minister. I very rarely hold my breath with this government. I point out to the minister that it is directly relevant to this amendment. The government have indicated they are not going to support the amendment. In part that is due to the fact that there is a process: the risk management guidelines will be used to determine whether or not there should be an excluded offsets project. I would say that it is directly relevant, even to this particular amendment, as it is part of the government's determina­tion of why they are not supporting this particular amendment from Senator Xenophon.
