If I may, I'll follow up with a question to the minister relating to this amendment. I'm interested to understand the government's thinking and direction it intends to go with the Future Fund in maximising returns versus investing in industries that are adding to climate change—which we are seeking, in this piece of legislation, to mitigate and adapt to. How are you weighing that up? Do you not see something like the Future Fund as having a requirement to invest in companies and industries that are congruent, that align with a future that Australians can be excited about and where young people can look us in the eye and know that we're doing what's required?
