Where is Australia at this stage of the current negotiations in which Australia is pursuing the change in the carbon accounting rules so as to recognise carbon sequestrated—I do not know whether this is the proper term but let us call it that for the time being—or carbon stored in buildings and other long-term uses of timber?
