I have previously indicated to Senator Milne that we cannot support this amendment. In general, there are two different policy alternatives: the feed-in tariff and the renewable energy target. The government chose before the last election to go to the Australian people with a renewable energy target rather than a feed-in tariff. I have previously indicated our views to the good senator.
