I ask a further supplementary question, Mr President. Given that New Zealand and Sweden last week launched a Friends of Fossil-Fuel Subsidy Reform group to lobby the G20 leaders for more ambitious and transparent action on the promised fossil fuel subsidy phase-out, is Australia committed to transparency as well as ambition in this regard? If so, why won’t you tell Australians what you are proposing and have proposed already and give us a date as to when you are going to release it and what your definition of a fossil fuel subsidy is?
