I will just draw to Senator Ciccone's attention some comments yesterday by the NFF's CEO, Tony Mahar, on Sky News: 'We've got a policy position. That policy position has been in place since 2018, and it's part of our roadmap towards a $1 billion agricultural sector. As part of that roadmap we would like to move towards carbon neutrality in 2030'—and here's the bit you need to listen to, Senator Ciccone—'so it's not that we would be carbon neutral by 2030, or by 2050 for that matter. What we have said is that we need to be trending towards a net zero approach by 2030.'

So, I think you also need to be very careful, when you come in here and make these accusations, that you are absolutely correct in what you are making the assumption of, Senator Ciccone.
