Senator Hanson, your question really goes to another piece of legislation that's not before us at the moment. Some months ago we had a debate in this chamber about the safeguard mechanism. I'm not sure if you were here for that debate. At that time we made arrangements to establish binding emissions constraints on large Australian projects, and those projects are responsible for coming to their own commercial decisions about how best to reduce the emissions from their projects.
