Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I would remind the minister that the question was about the 100 workers who will lose their jobs as a result of the government’s energy policies. Further to this issue, are any Chinese threatened species at risk from the wind farm in regard to which Senator Campbell will cut the ribbon tomorrow? What assurances did Senator Campbell seek that the Chinese wind farm does not represent a threat to pandas, given that he often compares the threat to pandas with the threat to orange-bellied parrots?
