My question is to Minister Ayres, the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Minister, recently ANZ CEO Mr Nuno Matos told the House of Representatives economics committee that 'some still believe net zero by 2050 is possible, but I would say at this point in time it seems difficult to reach with the current dynamics, with the current technologies, with the current public stance in many parts of the world.' He also said that 'net zero by 2050 could be the medicine that kills the patient.' Minister, do you disagree with Mr Matos's assertion that net zero by 2050 may be the medicine that kills the patient?
