I want to go back to Senator David Pocock's earlier question about the comments, particularly, from the National Farmers Federation around the impact of turbocharged offset markets. I'll put to one side the ACCUs, and I believe Senator Davey has some questions about those.

In terms of the overall impact on agricultural land—you talked about the opportunities in carbon farming and I accept that some in the industry are exploring those ideas—is there any mechanism in this bill to control or oversight the purchase of farmland by the entities covered under the safeguard mechanism?
