No, I do not think I will have time, and other more general questions have been asked, Madam Temporary Chair.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Your questions do need to be relevant to the amendment before the chair, which is around voluntary action to reduce emissions. Perhaps you might like to consider them in that respect.

I just wondered how voluntary action will be possible to protect the value of carbon credits traded under the emissions trading scheme or whether the assistance of a body such as APRA might be needed.
