There comes the political question from the Greens, who try to present sincerity on these topics but then of course can't help but make them politicised agendas of the Greens. Political donations are published. They're there on the public record for all to see, and of course the hypocrisy that comes from the Greens in relation to their historical track record on political donations—happily accepting big donations themselves and so on—is equally there on the public record for all to see. So, we're not going to simply take that hypocrisy from the Greens. I'm going to take equally their attacks on the jobs of many Australians in their targeting of different industries and different sectors. What we're investing in are the stretch targets in different industry sectors that will enable Australia to transition in ways that protect Australian jobs, that get emissions down and that also protect the jobs of hardworking Australians across this country and generate new jobs for them in the future.
