I just want to seek some further clarification from the minister, particularly looking at a number of the aspects of how this would work in practice to ensure we do not see some of the things that the Greens are claiming—some of the ideas that there would be, somehow, wholesale extra logging or destruction of forests as a result of this inclusion. Also, when it comes to the regulation to ensure that this is not abused, I am interested in how that would be regulated. What would be the arrangements when it comes to an auditable trail of documentation from the source of the wood waste to the power station? If you could give some clarity on that, Minister.
