Senator Duniam, I have pointed you to the bill before you. The bill before you, like your mechanism, deals with scope 1 emissions only. The government has laid out its intentions in relation to reforms in the climate change area and the energy space very clearly, in our Powering Australia plan. We are implementing that plan. That plan set out arrangements to reform the safeguard mechanism, a mechanism which deals with scope 1 emissions. That is the focus of the government. That is where the government's intentions lie. I can't be any clearer with you than that.
