The government have taken a position on that matter and I am not going to stand here and say that we are going to back away from it simply because the Greens do not agree with it. Let me be very clear about this: we have reached a position. We are going to COAG. It is a thorough process. Many people have had their say, like you, but we are going to go ahead and improve the situation in the streamlining of these processes. In terms of the COAG meeting I, like you, await the outcome of the final COAG discussions.
