Once again, thank you very much, Senator Whish-Wilson, for your question. I can only answer the question as it relates to requesting me to provide you with my opinion, which I'm quite happy to do. I am not a climate denier and I believe that it is extraordinarily important that we make sure that we look after our environment.

But if you want to ask specific questions in relation to the environment—and many of the things that were in the substance of your question, Senator Whish-Wilson, related to very, very specific aspects of environmental policy—I do not represent the Minister for the Environment. However, I am more than happy to take on notice the questions that you have asked in relation to the environment and refer them to the environment minister to provide you with an answer to your questions.
