As I said, I was gathering information. If there is any further information we can gather for you while I am doing that, Senator Joyce, we will obtain it. We will of course as always defer to your expert experience as an accountant. This is a copy of the ‘Notice of establishment of trees in a carbon sink forest’ form, Senator Milne. I am not sure whether you have seen it. I am sure you have. Section 11 refers to ‘Details of how you expect the trees to meet the following conditions’—and I think I just described those. Then you have to sign a declaration. So that is the form you actually have to complete, setting out the guidelines that have to be met. Again, I am not sure whether that fully answers your question, but that is the form that is necessary.

Senator Joyce, if there is any more information that I can add to your knowledge with, I will happily do so.
