One other thing: in the agreement with the Palmer United Party there is an agreement for the Climate Change Authority to do a review. That is not foreshadowed anywhere by way of amendment to the Climate Change Authority Act. So I am asking whether it is the intention of the government to put that into legislation. Is there anything in this bill or the Climate Change Authority Act that guarantees that this review will actually be carried out? And under section 57 of the Climate Change Authority Act the minister can issue directions to the authority. Will the government be actually issuing those directions under section 57 of the act? Or where in the Climate Change Authority Act will that be? Why don't we have any amendments in relation to that act to give effect to this supposed undertaking that has been made?
