I did make the point earlier—I do not think Senator Whish-Wilson was in the chamber—that there actually is not any specific restriction against the Clean Energy Finance Corporation investing in fossil fuels per se, which the Greens have sought to exclude in this bill. There actually is not. The provisions that the Greens seek to have included here are of a very different nature to what exists for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. We see no reason to apply different standards, as I said earlier, to infrastructure in northern Australia than exist for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation under its arrangements.
