Thank you, Mr President, I am sure the Senate would be very happy to receive those initiatives. I ask a supplementary question. The last figures available show that the cost of powering Parliament House went from $2.5 million to $3.2 million. That is an increase of $700,000. Is the parliament on track to reduce energy consumption by 10 per cent this year, thus saving taxpayers in excess of $300,000 in addition to the greenhouse gas dividend?
