My question is to Senator Birmingham, representing the Minister for the Environment. Senator, I note your government's deal with some members of the crossbench to ensure the conclusion of the burning of Australian native forests in the RET in return for the establishment of a national wind farm commissioner. I understand you have done this in response to community concerns around the apparent noise made by wind farms, which no scientific body has yet proved. Is the Abbott government aware that CSG mining also produces noise—constant, ongoing, brain-numbing noise?
