Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Talking about extreme ideology, we have got a coalmine in Adani that requires $16 billion of infrastructure to generate a return over the next 50 years and yet their biggest customer, the Indian government, has said it is not going to buy Australian coal—in fact it will stop importing coal in six years. Can I ask: is the government trying to convince Australian banks to bankroll this unfinanceable project?
