Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer and I ask: is Minister Hunt freelancing again? Is this the first you have heard of the fact that the Emissions Reduction Fund is now to be called the Carbon Farming Initiative amendment bill? And can you confirm that—if it is the case that $1.9 billion of the $2.5 billion is going on tree plantings et cetera—there will be no impact on greenhouse gas emissions from power stations and big polluters, and they will be able to permit for nothing?
