Thank you, President. I'm so eager to answer I stood up before you. Thank you to the senator for the question. We can see that the new leader of the Nationals is really having an influence on that side. Farmers are choosing to make money by keeping and planting trees to generate carbon credits and by hosting renewables. So why don't the Nats support the farmers choosing how they want to earn money?
