Minister, there are 28,000 kilometres of transmission lines as part of your energy transition. I assume, given the remit of this bill, that they're going to be within the remit of Infrastructure Australia. Can you confirm that the public aspect of the $328 billion of energy transition infrastructure will be assessed by Infrastructure Australia? Obviously, it's just the public aspect of that; there'll be private investment there as well. But can you assure the Senate that Infrastructure Australia will assess the energy transition infrastructure in coming years?
