I just want to put on the record that I do not oppose wind energy per se; I do have some concerns in relation to their location and the possible health effects. This committee process will, I hope, explore that in a forensic and balanced way that will allow both sides of view to be articulated in the committee process. I want to assure Senator Milne that I support renewable energy—I am a particularly strong proponent of geothermal energy—but I think there are some issues arising out of the location of wind farms in some locations that can have an impact.

Question agreed to.
