I think Senator Milne was heard in silence. It is interesting with the Greens: every time someone differs from them or points out an error, you suddenly get interjections. We sit here and listen quietly to the Greens. We raise some issues and, of course, the interjections then follow. Senator Milne would understand that the Kyoto target was set to recognise the nature of the Australian economy. The Europeans are not noted for giving big concessions to the Aussies, I have to say. So the Kyoto target was set in negotiations and, to the shock and horror of the Greens, Australia is on target to meet the Kyoto target.
