I just want to bring one point to the attention of the chamber. There were some remarks made around carbon capture and storage. I'll just note this: I think all senators should be looking at what's happening around the world et cetera in terms of all the different ways, the different methodologies, there are to address this issue. I refer senators to a press release on the European Commission's website on 12 January 2023 which is entitled 'State aid: Commission approves 1.1 billion euro Danish scheme to support rollout of carbon capture and storage technologies'. This technology is moving very quickly around the world. I think we have to be open-minded with respect to the technologies that we bring to bear in terms of addressing these issues.
