I wasn't asked that question—it has a Canavan flourish to it—but, Senator Canavan, you are raising a concern. You are raising a concern, so my answer to that was correct: I accept that there are people, including all of the National Party, I presume, who have concerns about this. But then I went on to say that this is about driving choice, getting more fuel efficiency. Involve yourself in the consultation program. You can't just go around killing every proposal because you think it might be positive for the climate, which is the approach that you have taken.

This is a sensible reform. We are consulting on it. Those consultations will close on the fourth. We know that Mr Fletcher, Senator Sharma and Mr Frydenberg all supported this, with tighter targets than the ones that are being proposed in the consultation document. We look forward to that being completed.

I ask that all further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
