No, you're avoiding the question. It's very relevant. We're talking about carbon emissions in this country, and you're actually pulling it back in many, many areas, especially carbon. So when you're bringing migrants into the country who emit those amounts of emissions you are avoiding the question. You don't know what you're talking about. You haven't done your research therefore the consultation hasn't gone forward. You cannot answer the Australian people with regard to this.

Another thing I want to ask you, Minister, is about what Adam Bandt said in a tweet. He said:

Fossil fuel shares fell yesterday after the Greens' secured a limit on coal and gas expanding.

  … …

To those wanting to open new coal and gas mines, your days of wrecking the climate for profit are numbered.

Minister, are you aware that there are many millions of Australians who, under superannuation, have shares in coal and gas? Are you proud of the fact that you've destroyed a lot of their future superannuation that they need for the future?
