No, I'm not going to confirm that, for the reasons I've articulated previously. What I would say to those opposite is this. The majority of the global economy has committed to net zero by 2050. If we are not in a position to compete in that global economy, that is what will affect Australia's GDP growth, Australian jobs and the prosperity of future generations. I know you all want to think we can live in the past and we can go back to the 1950s, but, if you're committed to net zero, you're committed to transitioning the Australian economy.
