You can always tell when Senator Abetz is getting sensitive. He interjects on a machinegun basis. He does not stop talking and starts to thrash around like a fish on a hook. The fairer system is the one that the coalition has agreed to, which is the activity based assistance on the basis of emissions intensity that the government has put out under the CPRS, which the coalition is now agreeing to utilise in relation to the renewable energy target. I have gone through already why we do not support this amendment. I do not propose to traverse that again. If we are able to proceed with voting on this particular set of amendments, that would be good. We have three more amendments after this before we are able to vote on the legislation.
