I might take that up with the minister’s officials in the next day or so. It has been a bugbear for me and my office and I appreciate the minister’s answers. Her office has been quite helpful but I would be grateful if the minister could indicate that that would be satisfactory. Is it the case that there are a number of national waste landfill initiatives and complementary measures being considered by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and various state authorities that propose all landfills have mandatory gas extraction systems installed and/or that best practice standards include the mandatory installation of gas collection and combustion infrastructure? If that is the case, will these initiatives preclude any landfill site in Australia that does install gas collection infrastructure from being considered in terms of additionality?
