Perhaps I could refer Senator Pocock to the many answers I've provided that indicate that the government appreciates that the path to net zero will require many technologies. Many of the international bodies and Australian research institutions, including the CSIRO, identify CCS as one of the technologies that is likely to be necessary to get us to net zero by 2050. This bill represents just one part of a very-broad-ranging policy agenda across the government to allow us to move towards net zero 2050.
