I am not trying to catch you out, Minister; I am just trying to get a very clear understanding. An example would be use of fertiliser in paddocks. That is obviously common practice, not something that is going to be additional. You may well get an increase in your soil carbon, therefore increasing the abatement, from a practice that is not additional and yet there is an increase. Therefore I would have thought that would be seen to be genuine, but according to this apparently existing practices that increase the abatement are not a genuine environmental benefit.
