There is just one other point, Minister. We were worried about the wording too. Infrastructure Australia can advise on matters ‘arising from climate change’. That is quite different wording from ‘can advise on reducing greenhouse emissions’. We hope that the wording was not intended to reflect something other than reducing greenhouse emissions because, as you know, the task ahead for this country in doing just that is massive. You might like to consider whether the wording is appropriate and to add to it from your statements to give us that assurance.
