Before we go to Senator Hanson, could I ask for some clarification there? Could the minister be more specific as to what she means by 'technology'? Let me put it in a more simple way: will you rule out government subsidies for new carbon capture and storage projects for Australian companies operating in Australian waters who are exporting their carbon dioxide into international waters? Obviously, Barossa's the only one on the table that I'm aware of at the moment that's seeking to do that. Will the government rule out subsides to that project and to others?
