On the point of order, Senator, if I misheard you then I apologise and I withdraw, but I thought you interjected in relation to China when Senator Boswell was on his feet. If you did not, absolutely, I withdraw. In relation to Senator Nash, there are already developed countries, including Australian firms, investing in China under the CDM. Do you really have a problem with that? Do you really have a problem with an Australian firm investing in a renewable energy project in China in a way that displaces emissions which would otherwise be emitted from a coal fired power station—is that such a bad public policy position?
