No, it does not at all. We have just had a whole debate about these environment and natural resource management guidelines. I have heard from Senator Coonan that she absolutely believes that this will cover all the problems with the environment. We have heard Senator Wong say exactly the same thing. I want to know about the assessment process for the guidelines and how the Secretary of the Department of Climate Change is going to make a judgement as to whether they have been met. Or is he or she not required to make a judgement about that? In fact, is that completely irrelevant? Where does that fit in in terms of the enforcement and compliance?
